| God name "Moirai" | Greek | Properly signifies "a share," and as a personification "the deity who åśśigns to every man his fate or his share," or the Fates.

In his poems Moira is fate personified, which, at the birth of man, spins out the thread of his future life, follows his steps, and directs the consequences of his actions according to the counsel of the gods. Homer thus, when he personifies Fate, conceives her as spinning, an act by which also the power of other gods over the life of man is expressed. Greek |
