Depending on the era, there are varying origins for the Moirae, or Fates, in Greek mythology. The earliest origins seem to point to them as the offspring of Nyx (like most of the other personified concepts), or possibly of Chaos or Ananke (Necessity).

After the Myceneans pushed Zeus down everyone's throat, it seemed that the Fates became the offspring of Zeus and Themis (Titan of Justice). However, the concept of the Moirae is one of the oldest in Greek mythology.
