The 'three fate's were said to control the lives of mortal by severing the mortal threads at the end of their lives. Clotho was the spinner of the tapestry, Lachesis the measurer of the thread, and Atropos held shears to cut the mortal thread.

∙ 12y agoThe Moirai (Fata in Latin) were:
Clotho (Nona): She spun the thread of life. In Rome, it was believed that invoking her name during the final month of pregnancy would help speed up labor. She is traditionally depicted as a very young woman carrying a spindle.
Lachesis (Decima): She measured the length of the thread of life. In Latin her name means "tenth" because it she was responsible for a persons destiny from the tenth month of their existence (after 9 months of pregnancy) onward. She is most often depicted as a middle-aged woman carrying a measuring rod.
Atropos (Morta): She cut the thread of life, ending a person's existence. Her name in Latin means "death". She was usually shown as an old woman carrying cutting shears.
