Who is the goddess associated with victory?

• A. Nike
• B. Hecate
• C. Clio
• D. Ourania

Answer: (A)

Nike is the winged Greek goddess of victory, embodying triumph in both athletic contests and warfare. She’s often depicted with wings and sometimes holding a wreath or palm, symbolizing success and glory. The other names point to different roles: Hecate is linked to magic and crossroads, Clio is the Muse of history, and Ourania (Urania) is the celestial Muse of astronomy. In Roman myth, Nike’s counterpart is Victoria.
