Nike’s Success Spread

Nike’s Roman equivalent was named Victoria, from whom we inherit the word for victory.

The Greeks celebrated winged goddess Nike, goddess of speed, strength, and victory, on this day. Assuming the role of charioteer, which is how she is often portrayed in Greek art, she flies around battlefields rewarding the victors with fame and glory.
