The temple Tychaeon in Alexandria was told to be one of the most spectacular in the Hellenistic world.It was believed that when no rational explanation of a happening could be found, it was the goddess Tyche who was responsible.Tyche could take away goods or hand out good fortune.Any person who did not appreciate the gifts from Tyche would find himself in deep trouble.It was expected that a person showed gratitude and sacrificed some of his newly gained riches to the gods. It was also expected that he should spend some money to help less fortunate citizens.Any who spent his time boasting about his abundance and not willing to share, would soon have an unpleasant meeting with Nemesis.Nemesis was the daughter of Oceanus.
