Fates
Also known as the Moerae and the Sisters Three. The Graeco-Roman goddesses of fate, according to some the daughters of Anance ("necessity"). It seems even the most powerful god of all, Zeus (Roman name: Jupiter), has no power over them. Clotho ("she who spins"), spins the thread of life, Lachesis ("she who measures"), winds the thread, and Atropos ("the inevitable") cuts the thread.
