'''Nike''' is the goddess of victory of ancient [[Greek]]s. They made for her a statue in Delphi after the victory of Salamis; she also had a temple on the acropolis of [[Athens]], and a sanctuary on the acropolis of Megara.  In Greek mythology, Nike is described as a daughter of Pallas and Styx, and as a sister of Zelus, Cratos and Bia. She was honored by [[Zeus]] because she and her two sisters, fought on his side against the Titans.

The winged marble sculpture discovered at Samothrace, an island in the Aegean sea, was probably offered by Rhodians in commemoration of a naval victory.
