Tíque
Gods - Greek Mythology
Tique (in Greek: Τύχη, translate Tykhe, "luck"), in the ancient Greek cults, was the tutelary deity responsible for the fortune and prosperity of a city, its destiny and luck - whether good or bad. Its equivalent in Roman mythology was Fortuna, word that seems to derive from Vortumna, "to which it turns the year".
Story
The Greek historian Stylianos Spyridakis concisely expressed Tique's attraction to the Hellenistic world, filled with arbitrary violence and meaningless reverses: "In the turbulent years of Alexander's epigones, a perception of the instability of human affairs led people to believe that Tique, the blind lover of Fortune, ruled humanity with a fickleness that explained the vicissitudes of the time. "During the Hellenistic period it was common for each city to venerate its own specific iconic version of Tique, wearing a mural crown (a crown with the format of the city walls).
According to the Theogony of Hesiod and the Homeric hymns, Tique was one of the Oceanians, daughter of Ocean and Thetis, but the orphic hymns called her daughter of Zeus and the poet Alcman considered it daughter of Prometheus.
The Greek historian Polybius wrote that when it was not possible to discover natural causes of events such as floods, droughts or frosts, they could be correctly attributed to Tique.
The pseudo-Higino reported that some associated the Tique with the constellation of the Virgin, more often identified with Dike.
In the literature these versions received several different genealogies, sometimes like daughter of Hermes and Aphrodite, or considered one of the Oceans, daughters of Ocean and Tetis, or Zeus Pindar. She was associated with Nemesis and Agatodemon ("good spirit"), and venerated in Itanos, on the island of Crete, as Tyche Protogeneia, associated with Athenian Protogeny (daughter of Erechtheum), whose self-sacrifice saved the city.
