The Greek goddess associated with fate and destiny is Clotho, one of the three Fates, also known as the Moirai. Clotho is responsible for spinning the thread of life, determining the beginning of existence for all beings. Her sisters, Lachesis and Atropos, share in this profound responsibility—Lachesis measures the thread while Atropos cuts it, ending a life. Together, they symbolize the inescapable nature of fate and highlight the ancient Greeks' belief that destiny is predetermined, allowing little room for human agency in the grand tapestry of life.
