Who is the lucky goddess in ancient Greek mythology?

The goddess of luck in ancient Greek mythology is Tyche. She was the goddess of fate in Greek religion, and later she was confused with Fortuna in Rome. She often distributes good luck and bad luck to others at will.

Tyche is described as having many attributes: holding the rudder, she is regarded as the god who guides and guides world affairs, and in this respect she is called one of the moira (Goddess of Destiny); She uses a ball to represent the impermanence and instability of fate and can roll in any direction; Together with Ploutos or cornucopia, she is a symbol of wealth-a rich gift.

She often works with the kind god Agatus Damon to protect everyone and family, and is also a representative of gentle punishment. She often appears with wings, crowns and cornucopia. But sometimes she is blindfolded, which means that there are risks and uncertainties in all kinds of desires. It is said that in her temple in Argos, the legendary Palamedes once said that he would sacrifice the first set of dice he invented to her.

The origin of the name "Tyche";

Tyche (τ u χ η, which means "opportunity" and "luck" in Greek) is the ancient Greek goddess in charge of luck and prosperity. The name was chosen to avoid confusion with another earlier similar hypothesis: the hypothesis holds that the gravitational attraction of Nemesis, the dim companion of the sun, caused a large number of comets to flood into the inner solar system, leading to the mass extinction of life on earth. In myth, Tyche is Nemesis's "good sister".
