NIKE

"..while Nike fluttered around her with a crown in her hand," (Calasso 226)

Nike is one of my favorite sporting brands. Who knew it was Greek until this class, Thanks to Mythology 285!
In Greek Mythology, Nikey is the winged Goddess of victory both in battle and peaceful competition. She sat at the side of Zeus and is a mystical presence, symbolizing victorious encounters, Nike presided over history's earliest battlefields. 


A Greek would say, "When we go to battle and win, we say it is NIKE."


"The Nike 'swoosh' embodies the spirit of the winged goddess who inspired the most courageous and chivalrous warriors at the dawn of civilization."
