Historically accurate? So it will be in Greek with subtitles?

Greek, white, no subs and coming out on dozens of 70mm pottery.
/MyBoerebond approved - subs would not be accurate.

Never said she played Achilles. Sinon isn't even in The Odyssey (the poem).

And still not a greatest Greek warriors of all time... probably an average Greek warrior and decent spy?

But Sinon is in the movie played by 1.55m Page...
Most characterisations of Sinon are of someone sneaky and devious, haven't seen a single source that described him as one of the greatest Greek warriors of all time.

Love to hear your take on how Helen being hatched from a giant Swan egg dictates her whiteness next.Difference is that while Jesus is never mentioned as being white, Helen definitely is:
"Physical Appearance
Ancient descriptions of Helen are intentionally sparse, leaving her exact features open to the reader's imagination. Homer’s epic texts, such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, primarily portray her as "white-armed" and possessing the beauty of an immortal goddess. Later ancient writers, like Sappho, began describing her as xanthos (golden- or fair-haired), a quality later echoed by Renaissance artists who frequently depicted her as a statuesque blonde."
It's just another unnecessary race swap. I could give them that, because it's happened loads of times before, and we should probably just expect it at this point. But how on earth can they expect us to believe that a 1.55m, 48kg women is one of the greatest Greek warriors of all time? I know films are all about immersing yourself in the world that's been created for you to enjoy, but come on.
