I removed this from the lead paragraph:
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)
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)
Any objections to a page move to Fortuna? Regards, Ben Aveling 01:32, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

also, the Turkish word "fırtına"(= tempest, windstorm) comes from Fortuna... Böri ( talk) 12:38, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
The Wheel of Fortune and the idol named Fortune itself are closely linked with a set of acquatic deities which mask as much as demons. Someone says "She buffets you like a rock in the middle of the sea" ( [1]), while the Fortune recalls the water deity Mami Wata and the Beast from the sea mentioned in REvelation 13:1-10.
