What Ancient Greece and Rome means to people as per Hollywood is British thespian accents. I don’t know if that’s because people were influenced by the Loeb translations, but when the Americans wanted to depict the Ancients they did so as British thespians.

Possibly because Britain is residually aristocratic as the ancient world was aristocratic and so the accent makes that connection for the audience, conveying the otherness of the ancient world to the American system.
