An African rapper with rasta hair plays the Greek poet at the opening of Nolan's The Odyssey. No Greeks are cast and no Greek is spoken despite the source material. Jews get jews, but Greek history gets anyone but Greeks. Hollywood's cultural rules are very consistent until the subject is European.

🤬 Hollyweird Is So STUPID!
Review bomb the movie everywhere.
The usual bots and propagandists are out praising this piece of shit.
This should be a barometer to see what sources are honest and who ARE BOUGHT.
I'd rather read the book.
Try The Greek Myths by Robert Graves. https://archive.org/details/the-greek-myths-1955-volume-ii/The%20Greek%20Myths%20%281955%29%20Volume%20II/
With this in mind: whence cometh the Fuzz?
Another item to consider is the director. What is he really doing? Broaching a subject?
Compare it to woke Disney producing Andor and Skeleton Crew. Fans exasperate. Yet, the real message there is:
Then the next question: Did anyone producing his opinion already seen the movie?
If Athena is not a Greek word, then why is the capitol of Greece, Athens?
Why is it that the goddess Athena is in Greek mythology?
Why is in the western world: Christianity the main course?
Battle of Waterloo? You can search all you want in the US, but you won't find the site. Or how about Harlingen? I'm sure, if you are looking for the red rock, you'll end up in Colorado instead of the border of the Suyder See.
How about Groningen in Minnesota. If you try to find the Ole Grey Lady, you'd be looking in the wrong place.
How about Wahallagara in Punjab, India. Strabo notes Alexander encountered what he called Germans ..or Geertmannen.
When it comes to Helen: we can posit: Helsinki, Helsingbor, Hellegat, Helleburg, we find it in Northern Europe but not in what we now know as Greece? formerly known as Javan? So, how did Greece become reverend of Minerva/Athena?
You start with the name. If it means nothing in Greek, you will have to posit: cultural appropriation, the same way as Jeshua means nothing in English, German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian or Swedish. It is an infusion.
The same way, Hellas, hellespontes were transfused geographically.
And I would go one step further: democracy did not start in what we now know as athens, but is a perversion of a transported idea, adapted to local understanding.
I can't proof it in a court of law. But Historians and archeologist turn out too much bullshit, and certain countries will gladly embrace it. That is not to say: Anything post say 600/500 AD from Greece is crap. But what is attributed without proof, should be rigorously denied and given a different source more in line with observable facts.
All the men you listed are from the northeastern Mediterranean are they not?
Are the racially different?
I was born and rasised 1/2 mile from Wisconsin and would strongly deny being a cheese head myself. Very strongly deny it. I'm a yooper and proud of it.
I believe it to be so. But .... one word of warning.
Turks have been fucking around in that area since at least the 15th century and heavily influenced the racial makeup, leaving a different dna makeup, than was the case in the time of Alexander (400 BCE) or even more farther back in time.
It sounds like a Disney movie
The white race is being erased. In the future, if anyone remembers the Greeks, they will remember them as black people.
Check out History Calling account on YouTube. She has videos about famous people in history, mostly royalty. She did a video about the movie vs the actual history. I haven’t watched it yet. I believe she puts a lot of work and research in her content. She’s done other videos comparing movie/tv to the actual history.

I’ve watched a few reviews from WDWpro account also. If you are interested I can post the link. They cover theme parks (including Disney), woke hollyweird, and other stuff that might be mentioned here.
Why are we complaining about what we already know, it's counter intuitive
The movie sucks in just about every way possible... I yaar'd it Friday night and it was so boring and shitty! Also, the casting for this movie is the most modern woke & satanic line up you could possibly derive.
maybe at times they need to be shown how absurd their woke movies are, so when ready in a year or 2, time to cast a Pee-Wee Herman look-a-like as Shaka Zulu
Won't be polluting my memory of the old Odyssee movie. That one was good enough
Cultural appropriation
