Fates
The Fates (also known as the Moirai in Greek mythology) are three sister goddesses responsible for assigning destinies to mortals at their birth, a human’s lifespan, and the timing of their death. The golden thread they spin represents each individual’s fate, and when the thread is broken, it signifies the end of a human’s life.
The Fates were said to be the daughters of either Nyx (the Night) or of Zeus and Themis (Law and Justice). There were three Fates: Clotho (the Spinner), Lachesis (the Measurer/Apportioner), and Atropos (the Unbending/Inflexible one). The Roman equivalent of the Fates are the Parcae.
