  • 1 Fortuna

    fortūna, ae (archaic gen. sing. fortunas, like familias, escas, vias, etc., Naev. ap. Prisc. p. 679 P.), f. [lengthened from fors; cf. Nep-tunus, v. Corss. Ausspr. 1, 434], chance, hap, luck, fate, fortune (good or ill; syn.: casus, fors; fatum, providentia).
    I.
    In gen.:

    quid est enim aliud fors, quid fortuna, quid casus, quid eventus, nisi cum sic aliquid cecidit, sic evenit, ut vel non cadere atque evenire, vel aliter cadere atque evenire potuerit? quo modo ergo id, quod temere fit caeco casu et volubilitate fortunae, praesentiri et praedici potest?

    Cic. Div. 2, 6, 15:

    si haec habent aliquam talem necessitatem: quid est tandem quod casu fieri aut forte fortuna putemus? Nihil enim est tam contrarium rationi et constantiae quam fortuna: ut mihi ne in deum quidem cadere videatur, ut sciat, quid casu et fortuito futurum sit. Si enim scit, certe illud eveniet: sin certe eveniet, nulla fortuna est: est autem fortuna: rerum igitur fortuitarum nulla praesensio est, etc.,

    id. ib. 2, 7, 18 sq.:

    sed haec fortuna viderit, quoniam ratio non gubernat,

    id. Att. 14, 11, 1:

    vir ad casum fortunamque felix,

    id. Font. 15 fin.:

    si tot sunt in corpore bona, tot extra corpus in casu atque fortuna... plus fortunam quam consilium valere,

    id. Tusc. 5, 9, 25; cf.:

    id. Att. 9, 6, 4:

    fortunae rotam pertimescere,

    id. Pis. 10, 22: secundam fortunam pulcherrime: adversam aeque ferre, Sulp. ap. Cic. Fam. 4, 5, 6; cf.:

    prospera adversave fortuna,

    Cic. N. D. 3, 37, 89:

    spoliatam fortunam conferre cum florente fortuna,

    id. Pis. 16, 38:

    integra fortuna (opp. afflicta),

    id. Sull. 31 fin.:

    florentissima (opp. durior),

    fortuna meliores sequitur,

    Sall. H. 1, 48, 15 (Dietsch): fortuna cum blanditur, captatum venit, Publ. Syr. 167 (Rib.): fortes fortuna adjuvat; v. fortis, II. A. fin. —
    B.
    Personified: Fortuna, the goddess of fate, luck, or fortune, Fortune: He. Respice me. Er. Fortuna quod nec facit nec faciet me jubes, Plaut. Capt. 4, 2, 54:

    nequiquam tibi Fortuna faculam lucrifica adlucere volt,

    id. Pers. 4, 3, 47:
