Note 91 — LIFE OF CAIUS MARIUS.

Plutarch often uses the word Fortune τύcη, the meaning of which may be collected from the passages in which it occurs. Nemesis Νέμεσις is a Greek goddess, first mentioned by Hesiod, and often mentioned by the Greek Tragoedians. She is the enemy of excessive prosperity and its attendant excessive pride and arrogance; she humbles those who have been elevated too high, tames their pride and checks their prosperous career. Nemesis had a temple and statue at Rhamnus in Attica.
