<P> The Temple of Athena Nike ( Greek : Ναός Αθηνάς Νίκης , Naós Athinás Níkis ) is a temple on the Acropolis of Athens . It was named after the Greek goddess , Athena Nike . Built around 420BC , the temple is the earliest fully Ionic temple on the Acropolis . It was a prominent position on a steep bastion at the south west corner of the Acropolis to the right of the entrance , the Propylaea . In contrast to the Acropolis proper , a walled sanctuary entered through the Propylaea , the Victory Sanctuary was open , entered from the Propylaea 's southwest wing and from a narrow stair on the north . The sheer walls of its bastion were protected on the north , west , and south by the Nike Parapet , named for its frieze of Nikai celebrating victory and sacrificing to their patroness , Athena Nike . </P>
