The Tyche (Fortuna) of Antioch by Eutychides 300 BCE. Roman copy of the Greek original.
"Ungoverned power no one can long retain; controlled, it lasts; and the higher Fortuna (Fortune) has raised and exalted the might of man, the more does it become him to be modest in prosperity, to tremble at shifting circumstance, and to fear the Gods when they are overkind. That greatness can be in a moment overthrown I have learned by conquering. Does Troy make us too arrogant and bold? We Greeks are standing in the place whence she has fallen."
-Agamemnon, The Tragedies of Seneca, Troades 695 ff
