How important do you think accents are in historical films? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

This article says audiences are annoyed actors in Odyssey are using American accents. It made me wonder... how much does it matter if actors in historical films have American accents?

Whenever that happens, I just assume that the characters are speaking the native language at the time, but it's being translated for the audience's benefit.
