Michaelangelo's "David" has a greek nose. Some folks believe that a greek nose is considered aesthetically perfect. It doesn't have to reflect any reality about a subject, it can just be used by an artist because it looks good.

So when you see a greek nose, it need not be a self-portrait of Leonardo, it may just be an artistic ideal.
