I don't think nor would I want to see another Hollywood depiction of ancient history...They just don't fell it, and should not focus on it..ever.

As for Gates of Fire? What do we know of Thermopyles that is not to some extent fictionalized?

I already showed you here how very differently we can interpret same words (depicting hoplites), and what we learn from paintings can not ever be taken as a 100% history report, as we must not forget artistic freedom and creativity that can take painting very far from actual source...What makes you think facts we know today are exact facts at all.

All best
