The Moirae

In Greek mythology, the Moirae, also known as the Fates, are the three goddesses who control human lives. They are usually depicted as old women: Clotho, who spins the web of life; Lachesis, who measures its length; and Atropos, who cuts it. Together they determine the length of each person’s life as well as its share of suffering. Their Roman equivalents are Nona, Decuma, and Morta—meaning “Ninth,” “Tenth,” and “Death,” respectively.
