For other uses, see Sors (disambiguation).

In Roman mythology, Sors, a lesser deity, was a god of luck.^[1][2] Derived from the Greek model of Tyche,^[3] and supposedly a son of Fortuna.^[4][5]

Scarcely mentioned in mythology, a handful of quotes cite him in such expressions "By the luck of Sors", or "Lived by a hairs breadth of Sors".^{[citation needed]} Sors is also a popular name in poker, as are both sayings. Sors is also a common term in gambling.^{[citation needed]} Opera singer Joe Volpe composed a piece that mentioned Sors. “Legend says Sors still exists somewhere beyond. Acolytes say he is among gods. Non-believers say he never existed. But it is said he is eternally found.”^{[citation needed]}
