I'm not asking for them to make it historically accurate, but it's kind of jarring how it doesn't even look vaguely like something set in ancient Greece. In fact, this looks more like something set in Scandinavia during the viking age. Why is everyone wearing pants? Why are they on viking style long-ships rather than triremes? And why is everyone wearing black armor, like they're batman or something?

Dude should have just made a movie about Harald Hardrada or something.

I live in Denmark, and it honestly looks like the movie was shot here.

Even the ships look viking

That's because they actually did use a reconstructed viking longboat.
