The wheel of fortune is a classical symbol associated with the Goddess
Fortuna, who is often blind folded and generally holds a wheel in her
hand as an emblem of her perpetual inconstancy....there are numerous
classical sources. For a quick reference check, "Lempriere's Classical
Dictionary" it will probably give you lots of classical texts to checkout.
