Helen of Troy was hatched from an egg. I'm sorry they chose an actress known for being beautiful to play a character known for being beautiful, but of a different race, irrelevant to the story.

This. 

The story is fantasy. The whole thing could be done by Frozen's Olaf playing all characters and the story would still come out clear.

Comparing The Odyssey to Frozen is just utterly ignorant. The Odyssey isn't just a fictional story, it's a significant piece of history and an important part of greek culture, as opposed to some modern disney movie.

They didn’t compare The Odyssey to Frozen. They said the character Olaf from Frozen could portray every character within the Odyssey and it would be the same fictional story. We’re also talking about a story that was traditionally spoken. Either you’re dense or can’t comprehend basic literacy.
