1. I have always wondered
what your screen name meant. Does it relate to Athena?

4. Actually, yes. Both her and The goddess of Victory.
Both Greek forms (loved Greek myth...still do I guess.) Nike is actually the embodiment of Victory and Pallas in another name for Athena.

I was feeling a bit ego driven when I picked the name.

8. Nike Athena was always one of my favorites.
Nothing wrong with a tad of ego. It helps a girl get things done :)

6. I'm not sure about that. I took the names of two Goddesses
Victory = Nike and Wisdom/truth = Pallas aka Athena
