The fates, often confused with the grey sisters
Sasha Grey
No, they all have their own eyes. You are thinking of the Graeae, three archaic goddesses, daughters of Phorcys and Ceto. They looked like old, grey-haired women and had only one eye and one tooth to go between them.
like athena, " grey eyed goddess"
The Grey Nuns
Perseus needed to find out where Medusa, the woman with snakes for hair, was. As he was looking for her, sorry if I'm incorrect, he met the Gray Sisters; three sisters with only one eye that they had to share between them. Perseus stole the eye from them and threatened to throw it in a large, deep lake if they didn't tell him where medusa was. Since without the eye, they'd all be completely blind, they gave Perseus the information he wanted and he gave back the eye.
Thing the Grey Sisters shared was One eye.
He needed the eye of the grey sisters because he needed to persuade them to give him what he needed,which was a magic helmet that made him invisible ,and magic shoes that made him fly.
The fates, often confused with the grey sisters
okay here's all that I know... Perseus - the hero medusa - the non-human demon/monster the 3 grey sisters - they only have one eye and one tooth between them and Perseus steals it from them in order to be told where medusa's lair is two gods/godesses - the donors who give perseus his shoes and sword to kill medusa. perseus' mum - she is captured by the evil king evil king ( can't remember name!!) - is in love with perseus' mum but she refuses to marry him so he captures her. thats all of them, i think:)

The Fates are the three goddesses that determine destiny. In the Disney movie 'Hercules' they are shown sharing one eye among them. That is wrong. The three Grey sisters shared one eye and one tooth among them, not the three Fates.
