Mythology[]

Tyche (Roman equivalent: Fortuna) was the presiding tutelary deity who governed the fortune and prosperity of a city and its destiny. She is said to be the daughter of two titans: Oceanus and Tethys, while other might have thought Tyche was the offspring of Zeus and Aphrodite. She was revered not only as a goddess who could bring luck, but also one that can bring misfortune. She is also said to be the sisters of Nemesis and The Fates.
