Best Answer

The three fates are three Gods that decide the fate of everyone. The Gods are disguised as old woman that carry around string in a basket. Every string in the basket is really someone's life. Then, whenever they feel like it, they will cut the string after a long period of time and the person that the string represented would die.

Moirae, the Fates of Greek mythology, were either daughters of Zeus or primordial (being there from the start).If daughters of Zeus, their grandparents would be Cronus and Rhea.

Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos are given many parents: first, Zeus and Themis, Nyx alone or with Erebus/Chronus: or of Ananke, perhaps Chaos, even Oceanus and Gaea are named as such.

Zeus' Fates or "The Fates" were called Moirae in Greek, which translates to "apportioners", in Greek mythology there were 3, dressed in white robes, and were personifications of destiny. The Greek word moira literally means a part or portion, and by extension ones part in life or destiny. They controlled the metaphorical thread of life of every mortal from birth to death.
