Indeed!
Theories/Speculation

Modern interpretations of Greek mythological symbols on shields have appeared in film, television and in politics. Another popular symbol among the Greeks was one which became corrupted by the Nazi regime in the 1930s and '40s--the swastika. A pre-Christian symbol, the swastika was used extensively throughout the ancient world as a geometrical design, especially in Greece. Other symbols and designs for shields which are somewhat authentic have appeared in major motion pictures such as "Alexander" and "300," though it should be noted that the Spartans in "300" lacked the iconic inverted "V" symbol in its traditional colors, instead opting for an all-bronze face.
