Abstract
The ancient Greeks believed that every life was subject to the whims of Fate or Moira, an inscrutable force that not even the gods could defy. Fate was often represented as three separate deities, the Moirae, who presided over the destiny of each life. Clotho spun the thread of life on her spool, Lakhesis measured it out, and Atropos cut the thread when a life had to end.
“But Fate, I tell you, no man can ever escape, Whether evil or noble, from the first moment of life.” (Iliad, Homer VI:488–489.)
