The fighting female cliché has ruined the Sword & Sandals (as well as Sci_FI) Genre,

So you want them to change history to accommodate your desires?

Sorry, but Artemisia was a real person, (Queen of Halicarnassus not Persia) and she did command ships at the Battle of Salamis.

It is Hollywood that is changing history to accommodate feminist desires/delusions.

There's a big difference between history, where she commanded the ship (a.k.a gave orders from the "sidelines") vs Hollywood where she swashbuckles onto enemy ships and single handily takes out entire regiments of Greek Marines.

Yeah, but did she crash her ship into the Greek general's so that she could slay ten greek warriors before she fought with the greek general one-on-one for ten minutes? Because she did in the movie...

Also, as a bonus, they had the Spartan queen, played by Lena Headley, lead the counter attack of Spartans, slashing and hacking her way through the top Persian shock troops. Yeah, remember all that exposition they did in the 300 movie where they showed how the Spartan men were trained from birth for combat? Forget all that - a skinny woman with no training can be the point of the spear any day, with all the super-buffed, ripped-ab, professional warriors following behind picking off her leftovers.

This movie is a left-wing comic book adaptation of the story, just as the original movie was.
