The fates were three daughters of Zeus. They were pictured as old women. They spun out the thread of life and cut it at the moment of death. They allegedly knew everything and were able to tell the future

∙ 12y agoFate isn't really a concept in Greek mythology (or Roman, for what I know). There are these three Fates-old ladies, creepy, not the kind of people you'd want to meet in a dark ally- and they knit yarn. Well, you'd have to look at them, but if they cut the yarn, you'd die. Not directly after, but yes, you'd die. Either that, or your prophecy would come true. I don't really know much more than that.

What I'd say is there are three fates who plot out the life of Mortals. One fate spins some yarn, the next one measures it, and the third cuts it. The longer the yarn is, the longer you'll live. The Fates also predict everything that a Mortal will do in their existence, such as who they'll marry and how they'll die. Their decisions are so powerful that not even the gods can change it.
