Tyche  

In Greek mythology Tyche is the goddess of fate, happy (or evil) coincidence. Tyche raises and humiliates and whimsically brings about the change of history. Their attributes are horn of plenty, oar, wing and a rudder on a ball or a wheel. Occasionally she also holds the Pluto, the god of wealth, depicted as a boy, in her arms. The Roman equivalent is the goddess Fortuna.

Nothing about the temple could be found in the sources available to me. My request to the head excavator, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Çevik, on Facebook, if it is known when the temple was built, was unfortunately ignored by him. The date mentioned above: "probably 2nd century A.D." comes from an unconfirmed source.
