Atropos The Greek Goddess

In Greek mythology, Atropos was a Goddess.

She was also one of the 3 Moirae, the Fates, the female Goddesses that administered fate rather than be determined by it.

Atropos is the fate that cuts the thread or "web of life".



She was also known as the "inflexible" and she cut threads with the "abhorred shears."

She worked together with Clotho, who spun the thread, and Lachesis, that did the measurements.




Atropos was the child of Zeus and Themis.
