Yes, my avatar looks exactly like me. I look like three beings, one a woman, and two that are divine creatures. My avatar was selected because I wanted something that would make one think of ancient Greece, which befits my name. It also is supposed to represent wine, women, and song (which I did not immediately realize when I selected it), and as I like wine, women, and song, it suits me well enough. Here is a bigger picture so you can see:
The one on the left is playing a flute or pipe of some kind, and the one on the right is carrying a container of either grapes or wine, while holding a horn-shaped cup (which might be made from a horn). The figure in the middle is a woman. It looks like she is joining in on the music, with little cymbals (or some such instruments) in her hands. Notice that the figures on the right and left are not human, but are some kind of divine beings.

You doubt that I look like three beings? I am the holy trinity, of wine, women, and song. How could I not look like three things?
