Statue of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory
Niki (Greek: Νίκ η, "victory"; Latin transliteration: Nike) is the goddess of victory in Greek mythology, corresponding to Victoria in Roman mythology. According to Hesiod's Theogony, she was the daughter of the Titan gods Pallas and Styx, as well as the sister of Kratos (power), Biya (strength), and Zeros (passion), all of whom were companions of the main god Zeus. Despite coming from the Titan tribe, she still stood by the side of the Olympian gods in the Titan Wars, bringing them victory.
