Tyche, goddess of good fortune and "the saving throw," is especially honored by gamblers and others whose fate has fallen from their hands. *

Myth

A divinity considered basically allegorical, Tyche has no mythology apart from a pedigree.

Worship

Tyche rose to popularity in the sixth century BCE; in later times she gained a greater importance, and was even named the city goddess of some areas.
