Description
The ancient Greek goddess Nike was the personification of the ideal of victory. Such personifications of ideal terms were common in ancient Greek culture; other examples include Wisdom, Knowledge, and Justice.
The goddess was a popular figure in ancient Greek art, appearing in sculpture, on pottery, and on coins. Usually fitting Hesiod’s description as ‘beautiful-ankled Nike’, she is depicted with wings and often carries before her a wreath of victory, which she presents either to other gods or to victorious heroes and athletes. Nike also often rides a chariot or sometimes stands next to an altar or a sacrificial bull.

勝利女神Nike的形像是長著一對翅膀，身材健美，像從天徜徉而下，衣袂飄然。她所到之處勝利也緊跟到來。這款勝利女神馬車中，我們可以感悟到女神英勇、飄逸的氣勢。兩支張開的翅膀和輕盈飛揚的衣裙，讓人感到女神在空中騰飛，有著一種強烈的運動感。豐滿軀體在薄衫下透露出力量和健康，表現了勝利和與之而來的喜悅。所有奧運會的獎牌正面都採用此勝利女神的造型。
