Nike (mythology) 2

EtymologyThe word νίκη nikē is of uncertain etymology. R. S. P. Beekes has suggested a Pre-Greek origin.[3]

Ancient referencesNike and her siblings were close companions of Zeus, the dominant deity of the Greek pantheon. According toclassical (later) myth, Styx brought them to Zeus when the god was assembling allies for the Titan War against theolder deities. Nike assumed the role of the divine charioteer, a role in which she often is portrayed in Classical Greekart. Nike flew around battlefields rewarding the victors with glory and fame, symbolized by a wreath of Laurelleaves (Bay leaves, see the illustration at right.)

Statuette of goddess Nike found in Vani, Georgia.

Nike is seen with wings in most statues and paintings, one of the mostfamous being the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Most other wingeddeities in the Greek pantheon had shed their wings by Classical times.Nike is the goddess of strength, speed, and victory. Nike was a veryclose acquaintance of Athena, and is thought to have stood in Athena'soutstretched hand in the statue of Athena located in the Parthenon.Nike is one of the most commonly portrayed figures on Greek coins.

Names stemming from Nike include among others: Nikolaos,Nicholas, Nicola, Nick, Nicolai, Nikolai, Nicolae, Nils, Klaas, Nicole,Ike, Niki, Nikita, Nika, Niketas, Nikki, Nico, and Veronica.
