Well, it's not my ONLY complaint, but it is a peeve. If they wanted to stay accurate, they shoulda shown Achilles and Patroclus in a little pederastic love scene... but of course, noone would dare indicate that any of the old greek heros used to fuck little boys as often (if not more so) than little girls because a) they could and b) youth was accepted as the standard of beauty regardless of gender.

But yes, I'm getting pretty tired of seeing white mexicans, white greeks, white saudis et al from hollywood. Getting a spray-on tan is NOT sufficient.
