The three Fates in Greek mythology—Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos—control human destiny. Clotho spins the thread of life, Lachesis measures its length, and Atropos cuts it, signifying the inescapable nature of fate. Their roles highlight the belief that life is predetermined and, despite human efforts to change their destinies, individuals must ultimately accept their fates. These figures serve to illustrate the inherent balance between order and chaos in the universe.
