Symbolism on top of a dome.

 

Why does a statue of the Pagan goddess Nike, that symbolizes the victory of Paganism over God sit on top of the Arizona capitol dome? That statue was recreated from a ruined statue from a Pagan Temple on the Island of Samothrace. Legend is that cowboys used to shoot at it to make it spin because it is a weather vain. I wonder if those cowboys knew anything about the symbolism of that statue?

 

Samothrace Landmarks

The island's most famous site is the Sanctuary of the Great Gods, Greek: Hieron ton Megalon Theon ; the most famous artifact of which is the 2.5-metre marble statue of Nike, now known as the Winged Victory of Samothrace, dating from about 190 BC. It was discovered in pieces on the island in 1863 by the French archaeologist Charles Champoiseau, and is now—headless—in the Louvre in Paris. The Winged Victory is featured on the island's municipal seal.

 

The Arizona capitol building is getting a brand new copper dome this month.

Doug Ducey has ordered the flags to be flown at half staff because of the death of BPS supervisor Martin Barrios who was killed in the line of duty. There is no mention anywhere of how he died. That's a secret. He was a BPS supervisor from Sierra Vista.
