Fates

The MOERAE are the three sisters who decide on human fate. They sing in unison with the music of the Sirens. Lachesis sings of the things that were, Clotho those that are, and Atropus the things that are to be. They are most honored among the gods because they distribute justly and have a share in every home. They give men at their birth their share of evil and good, and they punish the transgressions of both men and of gods.

Atropus is said to be the eldest, the best and the shortest of the sisters. Clotho is the "spinner" and Lachesis the apportioner of lots.

Some say that Zeus is above Destiny and that it obeys him. For Zeus has been also called "the Bringer of Fate" and "Guide of Fate" because he knows the affairs of men, all that the MOERAE give them, and all that is not in their fate. But others claim that even Zeus has to obey Destiny.

But it has also been claimed that Tyche (Fortune) was one of the MOERAE and the most powerful of the sisters because beauty and virtue and good fame are in her keeping and her pleasure is to dash immoderate hopes.  From: Greek Mythology
