The names of the three fates in Greek mythology are Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. Clotho spins the thread of life, Lachesis measures its length, and Atropos cuts the thread, determining the moment of death. Together, they provide a framework for understanding the human life cycle and the inevitability of fate. Their roles emphasize themes of destiny, mortality, and the interplay between free will and predetermined outcome.
