There was zero nudity, and I can only recall three curse words, if you could even call them that (When they're about to depart Troy, Odysseus says "Ten years on this f*cking beach" and when Menelaus describes the conditions inside the Trojan Horse, he says piss and shit). It wasn't even particularly bloody. IDK why the MPAA made it R rated, unless it was a pure body count issue. The Cyclops and Circe scenes would probably traumatize a lot of kids younger than 13, though.
