Moirai.

 The Moirai (Μοῖραι) were goddesses of fate in Greek myths and legends. Their parents were Chronos (Χρόνος) and Nyx or Zeus and Themis. These goddesses had siblings named the Horae.

There were three Moirai sisters.

Clotho (Κλωθώ) spun the thread of life from distaff onto spindle.

Lachesis (Λάχεσις) determined fate and measured the thread of life.

Atropos (Ἄτροπος) cut the thread of life and chose the way of death for person.

The Moirai met with other gods and goddesses. Also, they sang different things. Lachesis sang about that were, Clotho about that are, and Atropos that are be.

Writers wrote about the Moirai. Artists and sculptors created paintings and sculptors of these goddesses.
