Mythology
The Fates have counter-parts in almost all major mythologies. In Greek, they were known as the Moirae. Their Roman counterparts were called the Parcae. In Norse or Germanic mythology they were called the Norns. Some have also linked them to Shakespeare's Three Witches in "Macbeth." In all cases, they are women and their names generally correspond to their duties. For example, Clotho translates to "spinner," Lachesis to "allotter" and Atropos to "inevitable."
