In Greek mythology, the goddess of fate is Clotho, one of the three Fates (Moirai). Clotho spins the thread of life, determining the beginning of one's existence. She, along with her sisters, Lachesis and Atropos, controls the length and eventual end of life. The Fates symbolize the inextricable link between destiny and personal choices, illustrating how individuals navigate their fates while acknowledging larger cosmic forces. Their influence emphasizes the belief in predetermined paths yet highlights the struggle for agency within that framework.
