Peter Meineck is a professor of classics in modern world and he breaks down Greek myths in media. The professor talks about many movies such as “clash of titans”, “Hercules” and “Wonder Woman” and their lack of depth and precision, it’s also a very interesting watch.

Among the highlights, he discusses “300” and how the movie really uses very little historically accurate points, glossing over that the Spartan army was probably the army with the largest amount of gay members I history and how it pushed the trope of the gay predator with Xerxes.
