Fortuna, often personified as a goddess in Roman mythology, represents the concept of luck and fortune. She is depicted as a figure who can bring both good and bad luck, symbolizing the unpredictable nature of fate. Her imagery frequently includes a wheel, known as the Wheel of Fortune, which illustrates the cyclical nature of fortune and how quickly circumstances can change. In ancient cultures, Fortuna was worshipped to seek her favor for prosperity and success. Her influence extends beyond mythology into various fields, including literature and psychology, where the idea of luck plays a significant role in human experiences and decision-making.
