Mr. Snyder, WHY?

Zack Snyder is director but chose the story which contains racism. Why Frank Miller named his story characters of Greeks (or Spartan) and Persian famous persons? Couldn't he create new imaginative names for characters, places and nationalities? Why did he choose an event of history for creating this imaginative story? Why did they choose a historical event for making an imaginative story and movie?
Couldn't they make imaginative story or movie about something else?
Why did Frank Miller choose Greeks' and Persians' history to make a graphical novel? Couldn't Frank Miller choose another object for make the story?

And why did Frank Miller falsify the fact and history?
