For some reason, the White House tweeted this 25 minutes ago:

.@FLOTUS visited the New York Stock Exchange in September to participate in the timeless tradition of ringing the Opening Bell—in celebration of children and the message of her #BeBest initiative!
..........

...with 4 photos of that day. This is one. Anyone know who the two busts are?

::Anyone know who the two busts are?::

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The one on the right looks like the goddess Athena (Pallas Athena). Can’t remember, for sure. The one on the left looks like it could be one of the Greek poets.

Left and right?

I think I misunderstood the question.

That’s no way to talk about the other lady standing there with FLOTUS!

"Who the busts are?"

Two Busts Here

Busts: (Available from Amazon, each less than $100!)

Left side, Zeus, king of the gods.

Zeus

Right side. This is probably Alexander the Great, although Bigg Redd has correctly identified the horsehair helmet that Athena wearing. (She is also depicted with a nautilus shell helmet.) Amazon sells several Athena statues, but none matches.

Alexander the Great

(Note that there is statuary of Nyads and Maenads with undraped busts for which I provide no link. (You will have to research this on your own!)
