Best Answer

Zeus' Fates or "The Fates" were called Moirae in Greek, which translates to "apportioners", in Greek mythology there were 3, dressed in white robes, and were personifications of destiny. The Greek word moira literally means a part or portion, and by extension ones part in life or destiny. They controlled the metaphorical thread of life of every mortal from birth to death.

One was Clotho, another was Lachesis, and the 3rd was Atropos.
