It makes no sense since they're not related.
Sometimes in films the parents and children are played the same actors or by lookalikes when there is a flashback to the parents at the same age, but Queen Gorgo was not the child of Leonidas' mother was she?
There is no sense in this...none whatsoever.
No, she wasn't a child of Leonidas' mother.
She was a daughter of his half brother, ex-king Kleomenes, though. A fun fact.
it was meant to imply that men choose wives who remind them of their mothers.
Freud said that so it must be true
The woman did look similar to Lena Headey, but not "exactly." As for the Freudian thing . . . I wouldn't even BEGIN to touch that with this movie - unless I was an extremely accomplished Freudian scholar. You'd be here all year.
