 | | The author advances the theory with the assumption that the Macedonians chose Samothrace as the site for their dedication because a spot on the island would allow the Nike to overlook the Hellespont itself. | | | Indeed, with his enormous amount of evidence for the ubiquity of this concept of the “ship of state,” it seems unlikely that a critical viewer could look at the chaotic yet triumphant Nike, accosted by the tumult of sea and wind yet confidently pressing forward, and not see the “blasts of Ares” being successfully overcome. | | | Finally, because of the broken prow on the coin, this ship must be a destroyed enemy vessel being claimed by the victor. |

| | SAMOTHRACE- History |
| | According to the Samothracian myth of the great flood, which is but a variation of the panhellenic myth of the Greek cataclysm, and the rescue of Deucalion and Pyrrha, it was here on Samothrace’s mountains that the Kaveiri were saved. | | | Ancient authors have rescued further names: Saos, Samos, Electris, Dardania, Aethionia, Leucosia, Leuconia, Meliti, which were all, however, put aside following its colonisation by Greek settlers whereupeon the name of Samothrace prevailed. | | | The Greek fleet liberated Samothrace in 1912 (October 19, 1912), and its annexation to Greece was ratified in February of 1914. |

| | Samothrace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Samothrace was not a state of any political significance in ancient Greece, since it has no natural harbour and most of the island is too mountainous for cultivation: Oros Fengari (Mount Moon) rises to 1,624 metres. | | | Samothrace (in Greek: Σαμοθρακη, Samothraki, Turkish: Semadrek) is an island in Greece, in the northern Aegean Sea. | | | Samothrace was part of the Athenian Empire in the 5th century BC, and then passed successively through Macedonian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman rule before being returned to Greek rule in 1913 following the Balkan War. |
