Musing of the Moment: Why the British Accents?

I've watched a lot of shows and documentaries about Rome and the Greek tales of Homer. Some are good, some are mediocre, and some are quite good. 

One constant, however, is that the actors and actresses playing Greeks or Romans usually have British accents.  

Even in the Netflix series Young Wallander had actors playing Swedes, and many of them had British accents. 

What is up with that?
