    Greek poetry isn’t my strong point, but wiki says

    Hipponax (/ˈhɪpənæks/; Ancient Greek: Ἱππῶναξ; gen. Ἱππώνακτος; fl. late 6th century BCE),[1] of Ephesus and later Clazomenae, was an Ancient Greek iambic poet who composed verses depicting the vulgar side of life in Ionian society

          The picture is from a satirical rap battle where the guy in question says the absolute dumbest shit, and everyone loses their mind over it. One of his refrains(?) is the line “but I’m not a rapper”.
