Fates

The Fates, also known as the Moirai in Greek, are a group of three goddesses or spirits in Greek mythology who control the destiny of humans and gods, often depicted as weaving the thread of life. In Hebrew, they are referred to as המוירות (HaMo'irot). The Latin equivalent is the Parcae, and in Norse mythology, they are known as the Norns. The three Fates are typically named Clotho (the spinner), Lachesis (the allotter), and Atropos (the unturnable), each playing a distinct role in the lifecycle of individuals. Their roles are often depicted as inevitable and unchangeable, symbolizing the inescapable nature of destiny. The Fates are central figures in Greek mythology, often appearing in various myths and tragedies to underscore the theme of fate and the limits of human free will.
