Νίκη — Greek Mythology
Nike (Ancient Greek: Νίκη, Níkē — 'Victory') is the winged goddess of victory, success, and fame. Daughter of the Titan Pallas and the goddess Styx, she accompanied Zeus and Athena on Mount Olympus and was revered as the bringer of victory. Her Roman equivalent is Victoria.

High above Gendarmenmarkt, a gilded Nike statue has stood atop the French Cathedral's dome since 1818. She bears a raised knee, wings, and the laurel crown of victory. For decades she was silent — looking down upon Berlin. Until now.
