The continuous invocation of the classical antiquities both from Europe and Greece was the spark that began an investigation on how an antiquity such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace is transformed through its depictions in the course of time. With the arrival of the Roman Empire, the Nike of Samothrace is appeared as a military deity that carries the military victory, whereas in Christianity is appeared as an angel respectively. In latest years, its image inspired a wide range of artists, advertisers and even simple citizens. The Nike of Samothrace plays a dominant role in all sectors of everyday life; from promotional flyers and caricatures to corporate logos and bank notes. Furthermore, its presence sometimes validates important and some other times unimportant moments in Human History. Finally, it shows off feminine beauty and perfection and at the same time it serves political expediencies.
