The Fates

The Fates are mythological figures from Greek mythology who control human destiny. They are typically depicted as three women who determine the life span and ultimate fate of every individual. Clotho spins the thread of life, Lachesis measures its length, and Atropos cuts it when a person’s life ends. Their role emphasizes that destiny is predetermined and beyond human control, highlighting the ancient belief in a fixed course of life that the gods oversee.
