Nike.
    The Greek personification of Victory. Nike is equipped in standard iconography with wings which allow her to travel speedily from place to place. Daughter of Pallas and Styx, according to Hesiod, her siblings include Glory (Zelos, "being envied" West), Power (Kratos), and Force (Bia). Nike is associated with Olympian Zeus in the Pheidian cult sculpture in the Zeus Temple at Olympia. He extends winged Nike in his right hand, and his sculpture base is festooned with Nikai. At Athens, one cult title for the patron goddess is Athena Nike. And the Pheidian Athena Parthenos also extended winged Nike in her right hand. Individual Nikai from Samothrace (at the Louvre) or from Olympia (at the site museum) commemorated notable victories in Greek history.
    At Rome, Victoria was supposed to have enjoyed a temple dedicated to her on the Palatine by one Palans or Evander (Dion. Hal. 1.32.5). Perhaps the legendary Palans' name is derived from Pallas, the childhood friend of Athena or the Titan mentioned by Hesiod (but note Vergil's Pallas, son of Evander in Aen.). M. Porcius Cato dedicated the aedicula Victoriae in 193 B.C. (Livy 35.9.6).
    Whether Nike/Victoria belong to mythology or to the classical tradition more generally is worth considering. Grimal has an article for "Nike", but Graves, Reid, and many other students of mythology omit it.
