The Three Goddesses of Destiny
Moirai is the umbrella name for the three goddesses of fate in Greek mythology, and legend has it that they were the daughters of Zeus, the god-king, and Themis, the goddess of justice, but there is also a theory that the three goddesses were the daughters of the five creator gods, Kaos or Ananke.
The three goddesses who are in charge of the fate of all things are: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.
The youngest Klotto is in charge of the future and weaving the thread of life, the second sister Rachesis is in charge of determining the length of the thread of life, and the eldest Atropos is in charge of death and is in charge of cutting the thread of life, even their father, the god-king Zeus Zeus, cannot disobey their arrangement.
The Greeks believed that each person had their own goddess of destiny. In Homer's epic poems, they appear in the plural and have no separate names.
Hesiod said that they were three sisters: Laxis, Klotto, and Atropos, and that they shared good fortune and misfortune among the people.
The whole life depends on them, so they are often imagined as the image of an old woman spinning thread: Croto holds a spindle in his hand and spins the thread of human life; Laxis distributes fate, so that the thread passes through the fickle fortune of good and evil; Atropos tore the thread and ended his life.
The Romans called the goddess of fate palca. As a goddess in charge of the fate of all things, Klotto is impartial and selfless, but also knows the warmth and coldness of human feelings.
Legend has it that during the Trojan War, the undead warrior Greek Achilles was invincible and invulnerable, and the Greeks led by him entered the city of Troy, and Troy was about to suffer the fate of slaughtering the city.
At this critical moment, thousands of people knelt on the ground and prayed for the blessing of God and the favor of the goddess of fate.
The high-ranking Klotto couldn't bear it, she couldn't stand it in the face of the tragic death of so many innocent people.
As a result, Klotto told the soldiers defending the city about the weakness of Achilles, who was shot in the ankle by an arrow from the Trojan prince Paris, and finally Achilles' death inspired the Trojan warriors to fight and bravely defeat the invaders, thus avoiding the doom of the city.
The fate of everyone in the world is in the hands of Klotto, the goddess of fate, and they cannot be grasped and known in advance, and no one knows what will happen in their lives, so whenever they encounter setbacks, blows and failures, people often pray in front of Klotto's statue, praying that the generous and merciful goddess of fate can turn things around and bless good luck.
Atropos was a calm and assertive goddess, just and thoughtful, who, together with her two sisters, was tasked with balancing the fate of humanity, and Atropos was tasked with examining the past.
Today, when the gods were asleep, Atropos was appointed as the acting god. Atropos is the one who cuts the lifeline.
It's exactly what she uses with her
The "hateful scissors" determine the death of man. Laxis is in charge of measuring the thread with her pole.
