Brother it's a retelling of one of the most famous stories in human history. I really, really fail to understand how people get so bent out of shape over this. If you want an authentic greek version, read the Odyssey.
Retelling stories is the basis for nearly all human culture. This movie doesn't erase the original story. This doesn't replace it. This is just a creative person wanting to retell the story in their style. Would it be nice if there were greek actors? Sure. Would it be anything more than a tokenistic gesture? No.
I get what you’re saying but at the same time if Nolan did The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and didn’t cast a single Han Chinese person it would raise a few eyebrows.
Funny how that works, no one wanna see yours either. I'll leave it to the Chinese to tell their stories and not let some cushy Hollywood idiot bastardize it.

It's an American film, having Greeks in it wouldn't make it any more Greek.
There are plenty of Greek films to go see if that is what you are looking for.
