Maybe Camilla Belle.

Yes, I think so. Gosh, she's so beautiful.

 

[IronSide]

Maybe Nikola Tesla .. or not ??

Some Sardinian man

And Seleucus Nicator

 

[Diomedes]

Mastroianni's nose is quite small for the ancient Greek standards.

 

[Johane Derite]

I think that its not just about the nose being straight, it has to be straight (neither convex nor concave),
and almost the same angle as the forehead,with a very high root (so it blends from nose to forehead).
Also if its too short it lacks the same effect.

Some Sardinian man

Interesting.

This is a kosovo albanian actor. If the nose was just a little bit less convex i think he would be a match

I agree with Garibaldi, I think Pierre Casiraghi is very close, as is Tito Rossi, and so is John Barrymore(whom I posted), from whom Drew Barrymore got her nose. Elvis too, strangely enough. There's no profile shot for the Albanian linguist, so I'm not sure.

I think Tesla's nose has a curve.

Mastroianni's nose, like that of Papas, has the high root, but is short.

Alessandra Mastronardi seems as if she might have it, but I can't find a good profile picture of her. I love the way she looks.

She's too square jawed and full mouthed to be classic, however.

Yeah I dont think he typifies it or anything, just slightly, i couldnt find any profile shots :/

Mastroianni doesn't look Greek to me.

 

[IronSide]

Maybe Leelee Sobieski ? I'm not sure.

 

[Johane Derite]

Dennis johnson slightly, but he is too nordic:

 

[Angela]

Maybe Leelee Sobieski ? I'm not sure.

I don't think so. She has a nose like Meryl Streep: long, yes, but low rooted, bumpy, and pointy. I don't want to be catty, but I'm not a fan of that kind of nose.

I never had any desire to change my nose, but if I had this nose I would have it fixed.

@Johane,
Denis Johnson has the nose part, I think. After all, in my book, "Nordic" is just de-pigmented Med, more or less. Look at his head.

 

[Yetos]

I wonder about Garibaldi and Tesla

just wear them a tragiaska traiascka hat and they will look like N Balkanic
like Serbs, Romanians, too much long nose and down shifted

 

[IronSide]

Some Greeks.

 

[Yetos]

2 ironside

check them

Samaras

manolas

Glykos

malezas

 

[IronSide]

I don't know, I feel we unintentionally expanded the definition to more than one type. If we take the forehead and nose from the "classical" sculptures as the defining markers of this type, then:

He has a very strong brow ridge, maybe similar to Mithridates of Pontus

same with Glykos

Malezas has a curvy nose

now Manolas could have passed if he had deeper set eyes IMO, but he is the closest.

That's according to my expert opinion LOL

 

[Angela]

You have to look at profile pictures. None of those Greeks has a classical Greek nose as depicted on statuary and paintings, except perhaps for Manolas. They all have a pronounced indentation at the root. If the nose isn't high rooted it doesn't fit the definition.

For example, I just watched Game of Thrones. This is Clarice Van Houten, playing the Red Priestess. I though she might have it.

I found a good profile picture, however. Her nose is just like mine: there's a slight indentation at the root, so, no prize.

Look at this by way of contrast.

Basically the same nose, but no indentation, not even a slight one.

This thread is "teasing" me....it's nothing but a gallery of adorable Italian women! I never heard of Alessandra Mastronardi, but man what a flower!!!!

 

[Fire Haired14]

There are plenty of people with that forehead/nose combo. The nose in the classical phenotype is archtypical for Caucasians/West Eurasians; Tall, long, thin, fat round tip.
