Features: In Greek mythology, Zeus and the Titan goddess Themis had a daughter named Moira, who was the goddess of fate, overseeing human life, death, and fortune. This goddess of fate sometimes appeared as a trinity: they were Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. One spun the thread of life, one determined its length, and one was responsible for cutting it. The Fates were all-powerful, but only subject to the authority of Zeus, the father of gods. Yet even Zeus could not escape the golden arrows of the goddess of love, Aphrodite.
