It is a fictional piece written by and for Greeks around 500 BC. If they wanted to write an "Odyssey-inspired" piece set in 1950s Kenya, or Australia circa 2400 AD? Have at it!

But if someone boasts about historical accuracy and makes a black woman "Helen of Troy" and casts a tiny demented woman as a man of ANY sort...then they deserve to be berated.

As they would if they had cast Elliot Page (5'1", 100 pounds) as William Wallace in a remake of Braveheart...

If you are fine with the race swapping and Anne Boleyn as a black woman? Have at it. But I find it very offensive to be told white people need to disappear - and enjoy it!
