it's probably ok but you need to immerse yourself in the time period, like a teabag in boiling water, for it to become something else than a barren chinese steampunk fantasy
and i'm not talking only about history but furniture, clothing etc.
also you don't want it to be stiff and boring, so you have to find ways to alter everything in order to make it more to your liking... so you'll need to be a carpenter, hair stylist, cop, robber, architect, chimneysweep etc.
and that's not even touching the motivations, vices, virtues, sins, prevailing currents of thought, what a priest or another would preach etc.
tl;dr sure people care about it, if it's good enough :)

good luck!

that is incorrect; there were three major schools in Ancient Greece: 1. originating from Anaximander, 2. originating from both Anaximander & Pythagoras, & 3. originating from Pythagoras
(1) descended via Socrates and led to Stoicism which had its "end product" in Neoplatonism (and probably Christian Theology & Mysticism)
(2) descended via Heraclitus & Parmenides & Democritus and had its "end product" in either Epicurianism ("eat as much as you can, and then share judgement") or the forerunners of modern science like Descartes Husserl Kant ("gather together and devise methods to decide what is worth eating")
3. descended directly from Pythagoras: the sophists Socrates pokes fun of... they died out, unless you count history, geography, & sociology teachers as their descendants...
