I’m putting together a marketing piece for work and we have this main piece of art that we’ll license, but I’ll need to create accents throughout the rest of it by myself. I’ve done a google/yahoo/board search, but most of what comes up is like term papers, and honestly not really what I need.
I need to know if there are any constellations (or even greek gods) that traditionally symbolize or indicate: prosperity, money, success or achievement.
Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mia
The Greek god of wealth was named Ploutus or Plutus. He was pictured as being blind, as the blessings of life seem to be scattered out randomly on deserving and undeserving alike.
The Romans got him merged with Hades or Dis, the god of the underworld, and called him Pluto; in Roman mythology, Pluto was both lord of the dead and the god of wealth, possibly in part because precious things are mined out of the ground.
The Greek god Hermes, known to the Romans as Mercury, was also associated with prosperity and success, but is more commonly associated today with speedy action and with medicine.
