        Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, sometimes called the
        Destinies, or Parc[ae]who were supposed to determine
        the course of human life. They are represented, one as
        holding the distaff, a second as spinning, and the third
        as cutting off the thread.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Among all nations it has been common to speak of fate
           or destiny as a power superior to gods and men --
           swaying all things irresistibly. This may be called the
           fate of poets and mythologists. Philosophical fate is
           the sum of the laws of the universe, the product of
           eternal intelligence and the blind properties of
           matter. Theological fate represents Deity as above the
           laws of nature, and ordaining all things according to
           his will -- the expression of that will being the law.
           --Krauth-Fleming.
  
     Syn: Destiny; lot; doom; fortune; chance.
