The Story of Winged Nike
 
The Winged Victory of Samothrace, or the Nike of Samothrace, is a votive monument originally found on the island of Samothrace, Greece. It is a masterpiece of Greek sculpture from the Hellenistic era, dating from the beginning of the 2nd century BCE. It is composed of a statue representing the goddess Niké (Victory), whose head and arms are missing, and its base in the shape of a ship's bow. The sculpture has been exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris since 1884. It has been suggested that she may have held a laurel wreath or palm fronds to honour the victor of a naval battle. A series of small terracotta figurines of Nike, made in Myrina in Anatolia, give further insight into the original appearance of the Nike of Samothrace. These statues show the goddess in flight, her drapery blown by the wind, with her wings stretched behind her balanced by her extended arms in front. Nike of Samothrace most likely appeared similarly, but on a much larger scale.
 
In Greek Mythology, Nike was the bringer of victory, the goddess of speed, strength and triumph. Ancient Greeks worshipped Nike because they believed she could make them immortal, and the blessing of Nike would grant them the strength, courage and the speed to be victorious in any task they undertook.
