From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] 4-leaf clover
I removed this from the lead paragraph:
- It was considered the ultimate good luck if one was to discover and set aflame a four leaf clover in her honor. It was said she used the smoke from this "lucky flame" to fabricate her own unique ambrosia. Different poems tell of the effects including both immortality and life long good fortune. In contrast, it was said the ultimate bad luck was the consumption of the clover by the discoverer. It was said that was utter disregard for the godess's divinity.
First it seems like trivia and not appropriate for the Wikipedia:Lead section. But more so, how significant is it, how widespread was this 4-leaf clover myth, was it regional in time and place, or was it widespread? Some more context and a source needed. -- Stbalbach 14:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Depictions
I was doing some cursory research on winged scuptures in mythology and came across this article, however there is no discussion on traditional depictions of Fortuna. The pictures offer some clues, but I don't want to infer anything incorrectly. Is there anyone who knows more about this subject? --Jhlynes 14:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page move
Any objections to a page move to Fortuna? Regards, Ben Aveling 01:32, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
