The non-existent value of weirdly comparing his profile to a Greek statue aside, it's not even a good comparison. He has a way more prominent nasal ridge, a higher, more angled and sharp jawline, lower cheek bones, and a much flatter brow/forehead. What exactly is meant to look similar here except that they are both white guys?

I see it more from the "Mythological" aspect. Less face simular and more both are legends and should be immortalized as statues.

Edit: To be clear I am not supporting the comparison. I am just explaining my take on the attempted symbolism of the image.
