I learned a lot from reading your blog about the construction of the temple and architecture from this era in general. I had learned about the Nike of Samothrace statue in an art history class and thought is was awesome that the deity of strength, speed and victory was female, but I had never heard about this temple. I think it is interesting that the Temple of Nike was constructed during a war and that a purpose of building the structure was to bring confidence and hope. I also enjoyed learning this temple didn't have to be the biggest, and in fact was smaller than most other building surrounding it. The significance of the Temple of Nike is "a symbol of Athens’ political and military prowess."
I agree that this is an important structure and all the points you made were very convincing and essential. The Greeks had many gods and goddesses, do you think that there is one in particular that is most important and why?
