The Roman Goddess Fortuna - Favored by Slaves and 'Plebs'
Fortuna was favored by the slaves and the plebeians for her power to bestow riches and liberty and as the goddess of gambling. The plebeians, or 'Plebs' were the common, lower class Romans distinct from the higher order of the patricians who were wealthy upper class aristocrats. The slaves and the plebeians made offerings to Fortuna in the hope that she would bestow a rags-to-riches transformation. The annual festival of Fors Fortuna was held on June 24 which was the traditional Solstitium, the summer solstice. It was a rowdy and merry festival well attended by many Romans who made a pilgrimage to her temples on foot or by boat, bedecked with garlands of flowers. Offerings were made to the goddess and there were feasts which involved the drinking of much wine. During the Fors Fortuna people indulged in gambling in games of chance.

He’s known as the Good Striker. This has no connection with soccer — it refers to his hammer. If you’re dying, he’ll put you out of your misery. This is the origin of the phrase ‘Three strikes and you’re out’.
