Later they are daughters of Zeus and Themis, who was the embodiment of divine order and law. In the Theogony of Hesiod, the three Moirai are personified, and are acting over the gods. In the Homeric poems Moira or Aisa, is related with the limit and end of life, and Zeus appears as the guider of destiny. The gods and men had to submit to them, although Zeus's relationship with them is a matter of debate: some sources say he is the only one who can command them (the Zeus Moiragetes), yet others suggest he was also bound to the Moirai's dictates. They were independent, at the helm of necessity, directed fate, and watched that the fate assigned to every being by eternal laws might take its course without obstruction. They controlled the metaphorical thread of life of every mortal from birth to death. Their number became fixed at three: Clotho (spinner), Lachesis (allotter) and Atropos (unturnable). In Greek mythology, the Moirai (Ancient Greek: Μοῖραι, "apportioners", Latinized as Moerae)-often known in English as the Fates-were the white-robed incarnations of destiny ( Roman equivalent: Parcae, euphemistically the "sparing ones", or Fata also analogous to the Germanic Norns).
