Men's fortunes are on a wheel, which in its turning suffers not the same man to prosper for ever

In the writings of Herodotus, the idea that men's fortunes are on a wheel, constantly turning and never allowing one man to prosper forever, is a recurring theme. Herodotus, often referred to as the "Father of History," was a Greek historian who lived in the 5th century BC. His work, particularly his seminal work "The Histories," is considered one of the earliest examples of historical writing and has had a profound influence on the way we understand the past.
