Tykhe, the goddess of fate and luck, identified with Fortuna in Rome, is the daughter of Oceanos. Although she is not among the Olympian gods and goddesses, she is one of the most beloved goddesses, especially in the Hellenistic period. She is known as the distributor of good and bad luck. She is usually depicted with a rudder and cornucopia in her hand. On her left arm, she carries a boy named Plutos, a symbol of wealth, with a cornucopia filled with various fruits.
