Athena Parthenos is holding a winged nike figure. The fact is that Athena Nike was always wingless; Nike alone was winged. Athena also appears carrying a palm branch, wreath, or Hermes staff as the messenger of victory. That's precisely why the winged nike is a reference to the Athenian victory over the Persians.
