~The Fates~
The Daughters of Necessity

 


The fates are the daughters of the Goddess of Necessity, Themis and their father is Zeus. Their names are: Clotho, Lachesis

and Atropos. Your life is woven by Clotho, measured by Lachesis and finally, when it is time, cut by Atropos. All Living things must

 abide by them, even the gods!  They are  honored by the gods because they distribute justly. They give men at their birth

their share of evil and good. Atropus is said to be the eldest. It has also been claimed that Tyche (Fortune) was one of the MOERAE,

and the most powerful of the sisters because beauty, virtue, and good Fame are in her keeping, and also because she finds pleasure

in dashing immoderate hopes.
