 | | Clotho, or the spinning fate; Lachesis, or the one who assigns to man his fate; and Atropos, or the fate that cannot be avoided. |
 | | According to this genealogy, the Moirae must be considered as in a state of dependence upon their father, and as agreeing with his counsels. |
 | | It is worthy of remark that the Muse Urania was sometimes represented with the same attributes as Lachesis, and that Aphrodite Urania at Athens, according to an inscription on a Hermes-pillar, was called the oldest of the Moirae. |
