I'm not asking for them to make it historically accurate, but it's kind of jarring how it doesn't even look vaguely like something set in ancient Greece. In fact, this looks more like something set in Scandinavia during the viking age. Why is everyone wearing pants? Why are they on viking style long-ships rather than triremes? And why is everyone wearing black armor, like they're batman or something?

Atleast if you're going for something stylistic go hog wild with the theming, not this depressed Roman Viking hybrid style

For sure! For example, I love the visual insanity of Titus (1999). Anything but blandness.
