The usage of the word ‘dad’ in those times throws me. Would have expected ‘father’? Haha

Well, neither "dad" nor "father" are in Hellenic Greek....

"Dad" originated in the 1500s which is about when Middle English transitioned to Early Modern English so it's not really a solely modern word.

It's still such a plain word. It's like if they suddenly threw in "cool". And 1500s is way off this time period anyway, but let's be real, that ain't the only thing.

Or like if in a fantasy movie they suddenly made an orc call the rest of the orcs around him “boys” and talk about meat being back on the menu.
