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.

Мо́йры (др.-греч. Μοῖραι от μοῖρα, мойра, букв. «часть», «доля», отсюда «участь», которую получает каждый при рождении) — в древнегреческой мифологии богини судьбы. У древних римлян Мойрам соответствовали Парки. Мойра, обыкновенно в единственном числе, упоминается уже в гомеровских поэмах «Илиаде» и «Одиссее», как безличная необходимость, неподвластная даже богам.
