Yes, but it's clearly European coded, and Cinderella inspired. And so a lot of people on Twitter were upset at "Woke casting."

But the larger point is that stories are universal, and we really need to get to a point of casting the best people for roles, which means far more BIPOC Representation.

if they want to be accurate to ancient Greece, every single person should have dark hair, brown eyes, and dark skin.

Also, no one if fooled by your continuous BS posting.

That's only true for very early farmers displaced by massive steppe invasions.

As for Greeks, they were heavily blonde after the rather violent Slavonic invasions of Greece, wave after wave, which still cause a lot of controversy in the context of "Macedonian" identity.

Actually I think they would all be made of white marble.

There is quite a bit of evidence that at least some, and perhaps many, of the marble statues were in fact painted.

That's interesting, I didn't know that.

Did you know that the bedrock of Wikipedia is Greek and/or ancient Greek. Click on any random article then just start clicking the first link on every page and eventually it will take you to Greek. Until recently I only clicked through to philosophy, which essentially every article will lead you to, but if you go one further it takes you to Greek and sometimes gets caught in a boot loop between modern and ancient Greek.

Almost all of them. And it was gaudy.
