I made a brooch for my Odysseus cosplay with Penelope on it

I thought of the idea by looking at the trope of soldiers having a picture of their wife or girlfriend in a locket that they keep with them at all times, surely the king of Ithaca wouldn't go to war without bringing a keepsake of Penelope with him. So this is what I came up with, I LOVE the way it came out

Help with Odysseus cosplay!

So ive been told a few times by my friends I look like the Epic version of Odysseus, so I figured why not cosplay him? However, I dont want to look like I just bought some generic "Greek guy" costume with a cheap toga from my local spirit Halloween and called it a day, I want this to look legit (Not necessarily historically accurate) nice looking clothes, some sort of "makeup" to make my eyes look tired, my frame lighter, my smile torn. How should I approach this? Any Ideas or suggestions? Im doing my own research but maybe some of you have ideas that I haven't thought of.
