diosas hilanderas del destino en la mitología griega
The Moirai, known in English as the Fates, were goddesses in ancient Greek mythology who personified human destiny and were typically depicted as three sisters—Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos—each representing different aspects of fate from spinning life's thread to determining its length to bringing death. They matter as a central concept in ancient Greek religion and culture, reflecting how people understood the forces that controlled human lives and the inevitability of fate.

En la mitología griega, las Moiras (en griego antiguo, Μοῖραι Moîrai ‘repartidoras’) eran las personificaciones del destino. Sus equivalentes en la mitología romana eran las Parcas o Fatae, las Laimas en la mitología báltica y las Nornas en la nórdica. Vestidas con túnicas blancas y de semblante imperturbable, su número terminó fijándose en tres. La palabra griega moira (μοῖρα) significa indistintamente ‘destino', ‘parte', ‘lote' o ‘porción', en referencia a su función de repartir a cada mortal la parte de existencia y de obras que le corresponden en el devenir del cosmos. Controlaban el metafórico hilo de la vida de cada ser humano desde el nacimiento hasta la muerte, y aún después en el Hades.
