In Greek mythology, Nike was a goddess who personified victory throughout the ages of the ancient Greek culture. She is known as the Winged Goddess of Victory. Depending upon the time of various myths, she was described as the daughter of Pallas (Titan) and Styx (Water)[1], and the sister of Cratos (Strength), Bia (Force), and Zelus (Rivalry). Nike and her siblings were close companions of Zeus, the dominant deity of the Greek pantheon. According to classical (later) myth, Styx brought them to Zeus when the god was assembling allies for the Titan War against the older deities. Nike assumed the role of the divine charioteer, a role in which she often is portrayed in Classical Greek art. Nike flew around battlefields rewarding the victors with glory and fame. Vulgar Goddess;D
If you could sport something branded Ram, Krishna, Buddha or something like that you can sport Nike as well.
