Pronunciation

How is "Tyche" pronounced?

Like Psyche with a T, I imagine.--Midasminus (talk) 20:14, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tyche as precursor to Mary

In 'The Closing of the Western Mind', Charles Freeman, citing Vasiliki Limberis's work, 'Divine Heiress: The Virgin Mary and the Creation of Christian Constantinople', shows there is a clear link which reveals the transformation of Rhea, a virgin mother, into Mary. Hecate and Tyche are also involved as sources. Both Rhea and Tyche had temples built to them by Constantine in Constantinople.109.145.194.227 (talk) 09:45, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Um! Cronus is normally attributed as the father of Rhea's children. Where does the suggestion come from that Rhea was a virgin? In any case, what has that to do with Tyche? Apuldram (talk) 00:31, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for revert

I just checked Bowra's 1960 article, and he does indeed seem to be laboring under the delusion that there was a religion called Paganism in antiquity, though at points he does acknowledge that this is a translation of Hellenes. Bowra's article, however, is on the specific views of Palladas, and not an overview of Tyche. The Tyche of the late Roman Empire is a rather different figure from the early Greek Tyche, and is first shaped by Roman attributes and Imperial cult, and during the 4th century by Christian adaptation and rendering as a personification. She comes a long way from the pessimism of Greek Archaic poets. It would be good to get a better sense of chronology in the article, and not make it seem that there was a single goddess who can be reconstituted by assembling all evidence in all times and places.

Thank you for your apology. Your critical edit summary was indeed hasty and incorrect, as I had checked the source and the article. We should not remove relevant sourced information, so I have restored the status quo ante. Incidentally, Sir Maurice Bowra is held in high regard - It is impolite to say "laboring under a delusion" Apuldram (talk) 13:12, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In Greco-Buddhism page is said that "the [Japanese] mother deity Hariti [was] inspired by Tyche".

Broken Egyptian Equivalent Section Code

Hi I was checking the code (I forgot why) and i notice there was code for an Egyptian equivalent section that doesn't show up on the article, I've been trying to fix it for the past almost 30 minutes & nothing seems to work. Love o3oz (talk) 04:29, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox deity does not have an "Egyptian equivalent" parameter. You would have needed to use "equivalent1_type =" and "equivalent1 =". However, as that Egyptian deity is not mentioned in the body of the article, I have removed it from the infobox, in line with WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE. – Michael Aurel (talk) 07:28, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
