Winged Victory or Nike (carved in about 400 B.C.)

Ancient Agora Museum in Athens, Greece

"She was akin to birds and ships, to the wind, the waves, and the horizon. She had no country. But she did not need one either. She was at home on all ships. She was at home wherever there was courage and conflict and even defeat if it was without despair. She was not only the goddess of victory, she was also the goddess of all adventurers and the goddess of refugees—so long as they did not give up"

Erich Maria Remarque about Nike in "Arch of Triumph"
