Fate and Fortune

By TalaBar on Thu, 01 Feb 2007

With Greek influence, Fortuna was equated to Tykhe, their Goddess of Luck and Fortune. Under the title Dame Fortune, Fortuna never lost her power as an allegorical figure”She makes an appearance on the card 10 of the Tarot Major Arcana, the Wheel of Fortune, and she is honored still today for she features in gamblers' prayers to "Lady Luck". She is associated with the Goddess Felicitas, the personification of happiness, and Spes, the Goddess of Hope.

Creation

By TalaBar on Fri, 26 Jan 2007

Modern literature of fantasy and science fiction is that which follows most closely mythological ideas. Isaac Asimov is the best known creator of modern robots, but it seems that he was not sure about their soul. For that purpose he introduced Susan Calvin, a female psychologist, to help the dummy, factory-made creatures gain a kind of life-like soul that would help them adapt to human society. Besides robots, another feature of modern SFF literature is the Dragon folk of Pern; full of life and with ready soul as they hatch, they are Anne McCaffrey's great creation.
