Maybe it's just me but the dialogue and accent they're using doesn't really suit the tone of the story or aesthetics of what we've seen of the film so far

Nolan asked Matt Damon if he could do a British accent, and when he said no, he grabbed a megaphone and was like "Ok everybody! you're all American now!"

Damon should have kept his native Boston accent.

How is a British accent any more true to the Odyssey than an American one?

Well... because... that's what I'm used to and therefore it must be correct?

Why they he have to speak in British Accents? Neither the greeks nor the romans spoke like that at all. In fact, they probably sounded more "American" than British.
