Nike in Greek mythology was the Goddess of Victory. She was also known as the winged Goddess of Victory.
She and her siblings were confidents of Zeus and supposedly connected with him at the beginning of the Titan War as his allies.
Nike is said to have flown above battlefields and would reward victors with fame and a laurel wreath.
It is so funny, for years I have jokingly called myself the Swoosh Goddess because, being a runner, I wear A LOT of Nike apparel and am a HUGE fan, and never even knew about this Greek Goddess.
I love history! Hence the name, Historic Haunts.
