In mythology, the Fates, known as the Moirai in Greek tradition, were three sisters who controlled the threads of life for every individual. Clotho spun the thread of life, Lachesis measured its length, and Atropos cut it, determining the moment of death. Their role emphasized the inevitability of fate and destiny, underscoring that human lives were bound by predetermined circumstances beyond their control. This concept reflects the belief in a cosmic order where even gods were subject to the Fates’ decree.
