FATES
FATES
In ancient Greece, there were three important deities called Fates. These mysterious sisters were the protectors of fate and destiny. They were daughters of Zeus, the king of the gods, and Themis, the goddess of justice.
The Fates lived in a magical place where the lives of men and gods were woven. Each of the Fates had its own important role in shaping destiny.
The first Fate, Clotho, was the weaver of life. She held a wind and spun the thread of life for every human being from birth. She was the one who began the thread, giving a beginning to every human existence.
The second Fate, Lachesis, was the gauge of the length of the thread of life. By its measure, it decided how long each man would live. It was the one that determined the moments of luck and misfortune in everyone's life.
The third Fate, Atropos, was the relentless cutter of the thread of life. With her scissors, she cut the thread when it was time for each person to leave the world. She was the one who ended the thread of life, bringing the end of destiny.
The Fates worked tirelessly, ensuring that balance and justice were maintained in the universe. Though often seen as harsh and ruthless, the Fates were essential to maintaining order and the natural flow of life.
Even the gods respected the Fates and the destinies they determined. Their influence was absolute and immutable, and everyone, from the mere mortal to the mighty god, was subject to their decisions.
