nioquoi:The apportioners | Modern Morai↳ Morai -“To the Moirai , the might of Zeus must bow; and by the Immortals’ purpose all these things had come to pass, or by the Moirai’s ordinance.”The Moirai, often known in English as the Fates, were the the incarnations of destiny. There were three of them : Clotho (spinner), Lachesis (allotter) and Atropos (literally ‘unturnable’ but metaphorically ‘inflexible’ or ‘inevitable’ – i.e. death). They controlled the mother thread of life of every mortal from birth to death. They were independent, at the helm of necessity, directed fate, and watched that the fate assigned to every being by eternal laws might take its course without obstruction. The gods and men had to submit to them. -- source link
