No one will mistake this for anything but an oiled-pecs action movie, but it aces the Bechdel Test from the first scene, wherein four priestesses discuss the omens of the downfall of Greece.

But they talk about a man in that scene. I don't know if it should get a 3 out of 3.

I'm pretty sure it's okay that they talked about a man in the same scene as long as that's not all that they talked about.

Yeah, they discuss something other than a man. And anyway, later on, the oracles talk to eachother about their escape plans. Definitely passes.

One of the priestesses name is Phaedra, I don't know if the other priestesses had names but there's Athena and Aethra, who was the mother. Does it say the women who have the conversation have to all have names or just two women have to have names?

Phaedra is the female lead in the movie, the other priestesses are not named (credited simply as High Priestess #2, #3 and #4).
The only other named females are Aethra (Theseus' mother) and Athena the goddess. None of the three named females have scenes together.

It states above that there has to be two named women who talk to each other.
None of the three women who are named in this film ever get together for a conversation, so I do not think this movie passes.

Definitely doesn´t pass the test. If you deeper in the Bechdel rules (eg. screen time of two women named characters talking to each other) it is no pass.
