Some Useful eBook Details: According to the mythographer Apollodorus, in the Gigantomachy, the war between the Giants and Olympians, the Moirai killed the Giants Agrios and Thoon with their bronze clubs. [67] Zeus and the Moirai [ edit ] Bas relief of Lachesis, lampstand at the Supreme Court, Washington, D.C. Bas relief of Atropos cutting the thread of life In the Republic of Plato, the three Moirai sing in unison with the music of the Seirenes. Lachesis sings the things that were, Clotho the things that are, and Atropos the things that are to be. [38] Pindar in his Hymn to the Fates, holds them in high honour. He calls them to send their sisters, the Hours Eunomia ("lawfulness"), Dike ("right"), and Eirene ("peace"), to stop the internal civil strife. [39] Origins [ edit ] The three Moirai, or the Triumph of death, Flemish tapestry, c. 1520 ( Victoria and Albert Museum, London) The elevation of Moira to a goddess who determines the course of events appears in the newer parts of the epos. In the Odyssey, she is accompanied by the "Spinners", the personifications of Fate, who do not yet have separate names. [46]In ancient Greek religion and mythology, the Moirai ( / ˈ m ɔɪ r aɪ, - r iː/)—often known in English as the Fates—were the personifications of destiny. They were three sisters: Clotho (the spinner), Lachesis (the allotter) and Atropos (the unturnable, a metaphor for death). Their Roman equivalent is the Parcae. Apollo spoke up . . . “ My mate is not scarred as yours is , Adira took the brunt of the abuse so Artemis didn ‘ t go crazy . I think that was their goal , to make Artemis lose her sanity thus influenceing Adira to do their bidding . ” But thereafter he shall suffer whatever Fate (Aisa) and the dread Spinners spun with her thread for him at his birth, when his mother bore him."

Orphica. Theogonies, frag. 54 (from Damascius). Greek hymns 3rd to 2nd centuries BC; cf. entry "Ananke" in the Theoi Project. On the direct road from Sikyon (Sicyon) to Phlios (Phlius) ... At a distance along it, in my opinion, of twenty stades, to the left on the other side of the Asopos [river], is a grove of holm oaks and a temple of the goddesses named by the Athenians the Semnai (August), and by the Sikyonians the Eumenides (Kindly Ones). On one day in each year they celebrate a festival to them and offer sheep big with young as a burnt offering, and they are accustomed to use a libation of honey and water, and flowers instead of garlands. They practise similar rites at the altar of the Moirai (Moirae, Fates); it is in an open space in the grove." [84] Astronomical objects [ edit ] The word Moirai, also spelled Moirae or Mœræ, [2] [3] comes from Ancient Greek: μοῖρα, which means "lots, destinies, apportioners". It also means a portion or lot of the whole. It is related to meros, "part, lot" and moros, "fate, doom". [4] The possible derived Latin meritum, "reward", English merit, maybe coming from the Proto-Indo-European language root *(s)mer, "to allot, assign". [5] Later in the Orphic cosmogony, first came Thesis, whose ineffable nature is unexpressed. Ananke ("necessity") is the primeval goddess of inevitability who is entwined with the time-god Chronos, at the very beginning of time. They represented the cosmic forces of Fate and Time, and they were called sometimes to control the fates of the gods. The three Moirai are daughters of Ananke. [54] Mythology [ edit ] Prometheus creates man: Clotho and Lachesis besides Poseidon (with his trident), and presumably Atropos besides Artemis (with the moon crescent) are seen, Roman sarcophagus ( Louvre).a b In the Odyssey, Themistes: "dooms, things laid down originally by divine authority", the themistes of Zeus. Body: council of elders who stored in the collective memory. Thesmos: unwritten law, based on precedent. Cf. L. H. Jeffery (1976). Archaic Greece. The City-States c. 700–500 BC. Ernest Benn Ltd., London & Tonbridge, p. 42. ISBN 0-510-03271-0. As goddesses of birth who even prophesied the fate of the newly born, Eileithyia, the ancient Minoan goddess of childbirth and divine midwifery, was their companion. Pausanias mentions an ancient role of Eileythia as "the clever spinner", relating her with destiny too. [61] Their appearance indicate the Greek desire for health which was connected with the Greek cult of the body that was essentially a religious activity. [62] In the second chapter alone, Spare’s circumstance is also highlighted. She is compelled to leave behind everything she has worked for since she has no one to turn to. She has clearly been mistreated by her family, and Duncan’s visit gives her a chance to flee the torture.

Aside from actual temples, there was also altars to the Moirai. Among them was notably the altar in Olympia near the altar of Zeus Moiragetes, [76] a connection to Zeus which was also repeated in the images of the Moirai in the temple of Despoine in Arkadia [81] as well as in Delphi, where they were depicted with Zeus Moiragetes (Guide of Fate) as well as with Apollon Moiragetes (Guide of Fate). [82] On Korkyra, the shrine of Apollo, which according to legend was founded by Medea was also a place where offerings were made to the Moirai and the nymphs. [83] The worship of the Moirai are described by Pausanias for their altar near Sicyon: One recurring theme throughout ‘Fates Hands’ is the exploration of choice and consequence. The novel raises important questions about free will versus predestination, leaving readers pondering their own beliefs about fate and personal agency. By presenting different perspectives within the storyline, Ameling encourages us to reflect on our own lives and consider how our choices impact our destinies. A Literary Masterpiece
