[Unknown, Nike of Samothrace, ca. 190BCE, Marble, Hellenistic period] All the monuments erected in Greek temples were meant as thanks for the gods, as well as to impress visitors and increase the fame of their donors. (Siebler, 92) The Nike of Samothrace, one of the world most celebrated sculpture, had successfully achieved this with no doubt. It is a freestanding sculpture, which originally stood in an open-fronted building at the Great Gods on Samothrace. (Burn, 88-89)

As if just landing in a fierce headwind, her great wings still aloft, her body twisting slightly as if to maintain its balance, while the sheer chiton, heavy with sea spray, both clinging and billowing dramatically : The Winged Nike of Samothrace, a presence invoking a spirit of celebration and commemorating the " arête " (physical and moral excellence) of gods and men
