The Fates

The Fates Clotho ("the spinner"), Lachesis ("the allotter"), and Atropos ("the unavoidable"). In time, the name Clotho, with its reference to spinning thread, became the basis for images of the three Fates as controlling the thread of each person's life. Clotho spun the thread, Lachesis measured it out, and Átropos cut it to end the life span. Literary and artistic works often portray the Fates performing these tasks.
