You look like them as much as RB looks like Alain Delon.

No you dont, they look much more similar to Persian Otomi picture actually (esp. the nose)

Greeks statutes were more idealistic (similar to daily anthro cherrypicking, lookism etc.), thats why Sokrates is maybe considered as the (maybe for noble Greek standards) ugly truth, and you are certainly not as extremly Alpine as him.

You pass as an ancient Greek slave.

According to Lawrence Angel the statues were quite representative:

How close to reality are the artistic representations of Athenians? Classical
sculpture portrays in general a central type with a well-filled, mesocephalic, and
perhaps rather low head, with broad and low forehead; a face notable for its stan-
dardized, beak-like, high-rooted, and long nose, an orthognathous face, not small in
size, intermediate in proportions, with prominent chin, and with a definite suggestion
of lateral strength of jowls and cheekbones. The body build is dominantly lateral,
" mesomorphic," often with disharmonic elongation of extremities. Classical Athenian
skeletal material does not disagree with this, and tends to confirm it, so far as it can.
Lack of continuity of nose-forehead profile in the majority of skulls might be changed
among the living by fleshy bridging of the nasion depression.

idealistic in the sense they portray a beauty standard- You can have all those features like those statutes and people like for example the Persian Otomi avatar will be classified as "Gypsie Tatar, Arab, Armeno-Dinaric Kurd etc." while Op asks if he resembles them. Obviously it is the guys fault not having the ability to see those features- otherwise he would not ask as we assume he is not trolling.

Persian Otomi avatar does not look like an ancient Greek statue though, not even the nose is similar (ancient Greek noses are straight with a horizontal or upturned tip). OP has a snub nose with a depressed nasion, overall he'd be only comparable to Socrates who was seen as closer to a satyr than to a human by the Greek elite apart from his disciples.
