The Winged Victory of Samothrace, (Nike of Samothrace) is a 2nd-century BC marble sculpture of the Greek goddess Nike (Victory). H.W. Janson described it as "the greatest masterpiece of Hellenistic sculpture." It was created to not only honor the goddess, Nike, but to honor a sea battle.Modern excavations suggest that the Victory occupied a niche in an open-air theater and also suggest it accompanied an altar that was within view of the ship monument of Demetrius I Poliorcetes (337–283 BC).
