The mythological background of Victory of Samothrace:
The stone sculpture of Victory of Samothrace is based on the daughters of the Titans Pallas and Stix, and sisters of Kratos, Bia, and Zelos. Although Nikai was born in the Titan family, in the Titan War, she sided with the god Olympus, that is, on the side of Zeus, and brought them victory. Therefore, people regard her as a symbol of “victory”. She stretched her wings and stood tall on the bow of the boat, the feathers of her wings fluttered slightly under the sea breeze, and the soft skirt was attached to her body and fluttered behind her. The head and arms of the Victory of Samothrace sculpture have long been lost. According to the pattern on the coins unearthed in Greece, the goddess of victory should be holding a trombone, blowing the horn of victory, and spreading the news of victory. The Victory of Samothrace sculpture was made in the Hellenistic period in the early 2nd century BC and was erected in the Temple of Victory in Samothrace to commemorate a victory in a naval battle. The goddess part is carved in precious Greek white Paros marble, and the huge bow is made of gray marble with white veins to create a contrast with the figure statues. The two parts are quite ingenious.
