Tyche

Tyche is the Greek goddess and personification of chance, luck and fate. Her Roman equivalent is Fortuna.

Influence

The goddess was often invoked to bless a task someone was about to embark on, or thanked after an individual was seen as being exceedingly fortunate to have met or avoided a particular fate.

During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartan commander Taureas had a sword named Tyche's Folly, which he considered to be his own 'token of luck'.
