The Fates.
The goddesses who determine human Fate; they are the three daughters of Zeus and Themis; their names are: Atropos, Klotho (Clotho) and Lakhesis (Lachesis); Atropos cuts the thread of life when the proper time has come for death; Klotho spins the thread of life; Lakhesis determines the length of the thread of life; they are not to be confused with the Furies, who are the daughters of Nyx (Night).
