Nolan's The Odyssey - Do you Care at All About the Accents or Accuracy?

I'm very biased because Nolan is one of my favorite directors of all time, but I could not care less about accents or historical accuracy or any of that. I think this movie looks awesome and I can't wait to see it.

People wringing their hands about "accuracy" are generally the same group of people who never bothered to read Homer when it was assigned reading in high school so honestly I don't care about the discourse. It's not even a "historical" story to begin with. It's, in the broadest terms, merely folklore, old timey popular fiction that likely changed in its delivery from audience to audience anyway. To me, this just continues that tradition.

I do not care about accents or accuracy. This is a movie with cyclops and mermaids. HOWEVER, Nolan likes to underline historical accuracy as one of his artistic goals, which in this case is absolutely nonsensical. I think the friction comes from there.
