Yeah, I think modern audiences associate ancient Greece too strongly with the Corinthian helmets. It’s like how using American accents instead of old British stage accents for the bronze age Greeks feels wrong to many even though we’re simply imposing a different anachronistic modern parlance onto them - and the bards who original told the story were already doing the same with their newer post-dark-ages form of the language.

I feel like the Cinema-Sins-ification of online film criticism has raised generations who cannot appreciate anything on a level beyond a checklist of “ackshually” gotchas. At least the crowd who just don’t want to see black actors had an emotional response.
