I got a feeling it goes the opposite way. Least of all the Greeks building Nika to celebrate a victory in the sea were thinking about Louvre and crowds of Chinese. They did what they wanted and what they could. Then the culture was (partially) preserved, and built around her, so she is an important part of our culture not because she was made this way, but because we are cultivated this way.
