The Greek goddess Nike was the personification of victory in mythology. According to the poet Hesiod, she was the daughter of the Titan Pallas and the Oceanid Styx. Hesiod’s Theogony features the following passage:



“Styx, the daughter of Okeanos, lay in love with Pallas

and in his mansion gave birth to Zelos and fair-ankled Nike,

and then she bore two illustrious children, Kratos and Bia.”



Nike was called Victoria in Roman mythology.
