I don't see how this is much of an issue unless you are very ignorant when it comes to Greek and Roman history.

I don't think it's a big issue either. But as far as not knowing Greek and Roman history -- a lot of Americans don't even know much of anything about American history, or even where Canada and Mexico are. I think we have to take it for granted that most people's knowledge of Greek and Roman history is somewhere between extremely minimal and none whatsoever...and even moreso, if that were possible, when it comes to Alexander.

I'm sure a lot of people will just go to the movie hoping to see a big war movie, and get surprised. It's kind of a laugh thinking about some uptight people totally freaking out.
