In Greek lore, the Fates, known as the Moirai, control the threads of life by determining the destiny of every individual. Each Fate fulfills a specific role: Clotho spins the thread of life, Lachesis measures its length, and Atropos cuts it, signifying death. The Fates exemplify the ancient Greek belief in destiny and the limited control humans possess over their lives. These deities underscore the themes of inevitability and the acceptance of one’s fate, reinforcing the idea that even the mightiest heroes cannot escape their predetermined paths.
