There are numerous goddesses and other mythological beings throughout history with winged appendages - angels being the most recognizable in present times. Most winged female figures featured in legends and myths often play the role of a messenger, guardian, or celestial host. Some famous winged female figures in mythology and legends are Nike (Greek), Victoria/Victory (Roman), Isis (Egyptian), Valkyries (Norse), and of course angels and fairies.
