So
I haven't seen the movie, granted
I only heard Nolan blubbering on about historical accuracy and archeological record
But for someone who blubbers on/ has his actresses promote the movie with going on and on about strong women
There is an egregious lack of armour in teh way he dresses the godess of, among other things, war and strategy
Like
Really
This is what we are going with?

.
And don't get me wrong, it looks good, that is not the point
But
He couldn't give his strong women godess of war even a helmet?
It's one of her most recognisable atributes
Mattei Athena at Louvre. Roman copy from the 1st century BC/AD after the Greek original Piraeus Athena of the 4th century BC attributed to Cephisodotos or Euphranor.
.
Even wenn she was born she already wore hat helmet (so you can recognize her)
Attic black-figureexaleiptron of the birth of Athena from the head of Zeus (c. 570ā560 BC) by the C Painter[217]
.
Sometimes she also gets some armour
Attic red-figure kylix of Athena Promachos holding a spear and standing beside a Doric column (c. 500-490 BC)
.
But almost always she has at least the helmet
.
Even Disney got that one right
There she is
Helmet
Shield
Spear
Armour
And the owl, her animal and the symbol of wisdom
.
And I wouldn't bring it up
If he hadn't made the whole "historicalyl accurat, archeological record, strong women" thing, part of the promotion
As far as I am concerned you can glue rhinestones on a gambeson
As long as you are honest about it
Just say, I wanted to do it this way becasue this is how I wanted to do it
