"And what a civilization is the Greeks. They gave us science, democracy, and little cubes of charred meat that taste like sweat."
―Sheldon Cooper, The Agreement Dissection

• In "The Date Night Variable", there are two references to Greek mythology made: Raj states, "Right now, Howard’s staring down at our planet like a tiny Jewish-Greek god. Zeusowitz." Also, Sheldon gets chills when he says, "Release the Kraken!" The latter quote was originally a command by either Calibos or Zeus, depending on which incarnation of "The Clash of the Titans" one cares to apply.
