The "Looms of Ida" refers to a metaphorical concept in literature and mythology, often associated with the idea of fate and destiny. In Greek mythology, Mount Ida is linked to various stories, including those of the Trojan War, where the threads of life are woven by the Fates. The term suggests that life’s events are interwoven like threads on a loom, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human experiences and the inevitability of certain outcomes.

What are the looms of Ida referred to in The Trojan Women and other Greek myths?
Mount Ida is a mountain in northwestern Turkey, southeast of the ruins of Troy. In the scene where the chorus of captive Trojan women utter the line "No more through Ida's looms shall I ply my shuttle to and fro" they are lamenting the fact that they are being taken from Troy into slavery, never to see their homes in the shadow of Mount Ida again. Another possible interpretation comes from the fact that Mount Ida was considered sacred to the mother goddess Cybele, sometimes called Mater Idaea, who was the protector of the Trojan prince Aeneas. Goddesses were often associated in one way or another with weaving, as it was considered a feminine task at the time, but honestly, there is little recorded of any specific link between Cybele and weaving - she was a lot more about lions, hawks, chariots, hunting and smiting, so it is far more likely the "Looms of Ida" are just looms near Mount Ida. Oh, a loom is a device for weaving cloth, in case that is part of what you were asking. At the time the play was written, a loom consisted of a wooden frame strung with thread and a lever that pulled forward alternate strings, allowing a "shuttle" pulling another length of thread to pass behind them. There is more on weaving in link below.
