Fortuna, also known as Tyche in Greek mythology, is the goddess of fortune, chance, and prosperity. She was known to bring both good and bad luck to people and was often depicted holding symbols of abundance, such as a cornucopia or wheel of fortune. Fortuna was also believed to have the ability to influence the outcomes of events, which led people to seek her favor in hopes of attaining success or avoiding misfortune. Though powerful, she was considered to be unpredictable and capricious, as she was frequently portrayed as blindfolded, symbolizing the random nature of fortune and luck.
