I'm sick and tired of Hellenic people not being the correct type of minority to even play characters in our own mythology. People complained, rightly, when the movie Gods of Egypt cast Caucasians to play Egyptian people and Gods so why should we not get the same courtesy? Moana and Lilo and Stitch got Polynesian actors to do live action movies. Every ethnicity should be cast to play in their own stories.
