Nike Goddess of victory
"To Nike, Fumigation from Manna. O powerful Nike, by men desired, with adverse breasts to dreadful fury fired, thee I invoke, whose might alone can quell contending rage and molestation fell…”
Orphic Hymn 33 to Nike (trans. Taylor) (Greek hymns C3rd B.C. to 2nd A.D.)

I’m extremely surprised that no one else has headcanoned Nike (goddess of victory) as aroace.
The main “aroace goddesses” (Hestia, Athena, and Artemis) were all virgin goddesses that were immune to Aphrodite’s power, hence why people often headcanon them as aroace.
While Nike herself isn’t said to be able to resist Aphrodite’s power, she is a virgin goddess by choice and never took a lover, which might actually prove even more how she’s aroace. Even though she isn’t immune, she still had no interest in anyone.
Anyways we love our aroace queens <33

So I was in Greece and found out it was a lie.
All those episodes of Xena Warrior Princess and Iolaus: The Legendary Journeys.
They.
Were.
LIES.
Did you know that throughout ALL of Greece for all the centuries leading up to when the Romans invaded, all of the many myriad city states and colonies-- west to Sicily and south to Africa and north east to Asia Minor, all of them: no temples to Ares.
None.
All the other gods? Yup. Hell, they even imported Isis from Egypt so she has shrines on Delos. DELOS. The holy birthplace of Apollo. Shrines to the Egyptian goddess Isis.
But Ares? No.
And in both shows that was the WHOLE plot. It was always about Ares and his temples and shrines. Even the Young Hercules spin off with Ryan Gosling as Hercules and the actor who would later be Fili the Dwarf playing young Iolaus, Ares was always in his temples and always trying to protect his temples from being smashed up or destroyed. And I visit Greece for the first time in my life and go to all these amazing sites-- Delos, the canal at Corinth, Olympia, Delphi, Athens, Ithaca, Patmos, Tinos etc. and . . . no Ares. No temple to Ares.
And when you visit Greece and they take you to the ruins of the temples of Athena and Zeus and Apollo etc. you learn that people built temples for the gods to use as like vacation homes when they didn't want to stay on Olympus.
All those city states. All those colonies and during the entire Hellenic period no one built one single temple to Ares according to the docent at the Delphi museum.
Apparently no one wanted Ares as a neighbor.

Jungwon’s leadership and perseverance resonate with Nike, the goddess of victory. Known for her unwavering focus and strength, Nike symbolizes triumph through effort and teamwork, traits that align with Jungwon’s approach to guiding Enhypen. Just as Nike was often seen by Zeus’s side, Jungwon is a trusted figure who ensures the group’s success through his dedication.

🏆🗡️ Nike - Cabin 17 🪽🥇
You are the best / You seem to stand out from the rest / Ooh, your intentions / To be more than an honorable mention / You must feel that victory / Release that energy and ride like the wind / With fire in your eyes, shake those butterflies / Go ahead and go for the win now

THE WINGED VICTORY OF BRESCIA: Bronze statue found in 1826 at the Capitolium of Brixia site, Now - one of the symbols of Brescia preserved in the Capitolium museum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitolium_of_Brixia 1 AD [H=195cm] "The … restoration of the 'Opificio delle Pietre Dure' [Ministry of Culture restoration institute based in Florence] has established that the statue was cast in the 1st c. AD in a local forge and is not an assembly of different statues but was created to be a 'Winged Victory'. The reference model is to be identified in Aphrodite Urania of the 'Cyrene type', i.e. with the goddess conceived in that specific variation of posture found in the statue of the same name from Cyrene. Other details, such as the twisting of the bust and the shape of the arms are also borrowed from Greek works of the 5th-6th c. BC. … the wings were added to transform the work into the goddess Victoria; in Rome and Constantinople there were similar works [Victory engraving a shield] in the Imperial forums." [txt ©BAP]

Nike ,Goddess of Victory
My design for Nike ,the winged greek goddess of Victory!
I based my design of Nike off the famous statue of her the "Winged Victory of Samothrace" which is why she has wings in place of arms and a more marble-like color palette to her design

Requested by @tomhollandsteacup
(Idk how to reply to comments as a blog yet, I’m literally so new to this.)
But they requested a playlist for children of Nike!
Idk I just got the vibe that children of Nike would listen to Phonk.
