Moirai is the general term for the three goddesses of fate in Greek mythology. Legend has it that they are the daughters of the god king Zeus and the god of justice Theis, but there is also a saying that the three goddesses are the daughters of the five great creation gods Kaos or Ananke. These three goddesses who are in charge of the fate of all things are: Clotho, chesis, and atropos. The youngest Clotho is in charge of the future and the textile line of life. The second sister Laces is in charge of the length of the line of life, and the oldest Atropos is in charge of death and is in charge of cutting the line of life. Even their father, the god king Zeus cannot disobey their arrangements.

The Greeks believed that each person had his own goddess of destiny. In Homer's epic, they appeared in plural numbers and had no separate names. Hesiod said that they were three sisters: Laxis, Croto, and Atlopos, who gave people good and bad fortune. People's lives depended on them, so they were often imagined as the image of an old woman spinning thread: Croto held a spindle in his hand and spinned the thread of people's life; Laxis assigned fate, making the thread pass through the ever-changing good and bad fortune; Atlopos broke the thread and ended his life. The Romans called the goddess of destiny Palca.

As the goddess in charge of the fate of all things, Croto was fair and selfless, but also knew the warmth and coldness of human feelings. According to legend, during the Trojan War, the immortal warrior Akhatian was invincible and invulnerable. The Greeks led by him rushed into the city of Troy, and Troy was about to suffer the fate of massacre. At this critical moment, thousands of people knelt on the ground and prayed for God's blessing and the favor of the goddess of fate.

The lofty Crotto couldn't bear it. She could not bear it. She was indifferent to the tragic deaths of many innocent people. So Crotto told the soldiers guarding the city of Akhatian, who was shot by the Trojan Prince Paris, with an arrow, the only fatal point on his body - his ankle. In the end, Akhatian's death inspired the fighting spirit of the Trojan soldiers, who bravely defeated the invaders, thus avoiding the bad luck of massacre.

Everyone's fate in the world is in the hands of Croto, the goddess of fate, and they are unable to control and know in advance. No one knows what will happen to them in their life. Therefore, whenever they encounter setbacks, blows and failures, people often pray in front of Croto's statue, praying that the generous and kind Goddess of fate can turn the world and bring good luck and blessings.

Atlopos is a calm and independent goddess, fair and meticulous. She and her two sisters are responsible for balancing the fate of mankind. Atlopos's duty is to examine the past time. Today, when the gods are asleep, Atlopos is appointed to serve as the main god. Atlopos is the one who cuts the lifeline. It is she who uses her "hateful scissors" to determine human death. Laxis is responsible for measuring the thread with her pole.
