~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.
