As a reader, I'd say: if you do what Hollywood did (Gladiator, Troy, 300, Alexander, Hercules, etc...), I'll come to burn your manuscript before you publish it!



Historical fiction HAS to be accurate or alternate. Between those, it's just a good story with a crappy background. Wich makes a crappy book.
