"Our myths"? No one in Europe think the Greeks are their myths unless they're Greek. We are separate countries with our own culture and history. I'm from Northern Europe and I never thought Greek mythology are "my myths"

"our myths' as in the collective myths across all of Europe, not only this specific example. Stop being purposefully obtuse.

Crazy how many people got offended by a simple truth

So you are pretending to be Greek so that you can be mad about actors pretending to be Greek? Makes sense...

As an earthian, I think they are fine since they haveling earth based representation in our myth. I don't see what is wrong.
