| | Moirae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Moirae can be compared with the three spinners of Destiny in northern Europe, the Norns or the Baltic goddess Laima and her two sisters, also spinning goddesses. | | | It is difficult to separate them from the Norns, the similar age-old fates, older than the gods, of a separate Indo-European tradition. | | | In Athens, Aphrodite, who had an earlier, pre-Olympic existence, was called Aphrodite Urania the 'eldest of the Fates' according to Pausanias (x.24.4). |

| | The Fates Homework Page |
| | At Delphi, the seat of Apollo's oracle, only two Fates are worshipped, those of Birth and Death; and at Athens Aphrodite Urania is called the eldest of the three. | | | Still others claim that not even Zeus is beyond the power of the Fates and that he is subject to their whim. | | | It is said that only Zeus, the King of the Olympian gods, can weigh the lives of men and that it is he who informs the three sisters of his decisions. |

| | The three Fates, Moirai |
| | As goddesses of fate the Moirai necessarily knew the future and therefore were regarded as prophetic deities. | | | Zeus, as father of gods and men, weighed out the "fate" of individuals, as he did in the case of Achilleus and Memnon [but even in Homer things are more complicated! | | | The process was absolutely unalterable, and gods as well as men and women had to submit to it. |

| | There were three Fates, whom Homer called "spinners of the thread of life." Clotho was the spinner of the thread, hence she was also a birth goddess. | | | These three had more power than most other gods, and whoever resisted them had to face Nemesis, the goddess of justice. | | | Perhaps the most threatening of the goddesses were the Fates, called collectively Moirai. |

| | Review of THREE FATES by Nora Roberts |
| | Second, their scheme to eliminate Anita as a threat seems to me to make them morally little better than she is. Third, the idea of six capable and intelligent people combining to squash a single woman, however evil, seems something short of heroic. | | | The three Sullivan siblings are intent on their goal, willing to lie and cheat to succeed, but each time they lie, they get into deeper trouble with the true loves that they discover during the course of their adventure. | | | After linking up with a mythology expert who happens to be the descendent of the man from whom their ancestor stole the first fate, a stripper who owns the second, and a security expert whose great grandfather owns the third, the Sullivans are finally ready to make their move. |
