If you didn’t know who the Nike goddess was before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, you don’t want to know more!This Greek goddess of victory, used through a well-known footwear brand, appeared on medals awarded to athletes, as she has been. But we could also see it in the final ceremony, in the form of the famous sculpture of the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
The latter is an emblematic piece of the Louvre Museum, discovered in 1863 by Charles Champoiseau in the sanctuary on the island of Samothrace, in the north of the Aegean Sea. It was sent to the Paris museum for initial recovery work, before being displayed in the Grand Staircase of the Denon Wing.
According to legend, the monument of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, composed of a statue of a winged goddess missing a head and arms, and a base in the shape of a ship’s prow resting on a low base, was presented to the marvelous gods of Samothrace after a naval victory.
If you’ve never seen her before, you can also see the goddess Nike perched on the Alexandre III bridge, in the left column, on the side of the Eiffel Tower. Hand in hand with the sculpture of La France de LouisArray games.
