Nike (Greek: goddess of victory in Greek mythology; literally, victory).

Nike was the Greek personification of victory. She was a divine being, but unlike the Roman Victoria, she had no special temples or festivals. Nike appears mainly in the company of other deities, notably Zeus and Pallas Athena. Nike is identified by the Romans with the goddess Victoria.

Nike is winged, holds a laurel and palm branch, and stands on a ball. A temple to her still remains on the Acropolis.
