The three goddesses of Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, commonly known as Fate, almost always appear in the Atlas-made Goddess Rebirth Series and Persona Series. And when these three goddesses are united, Norns will come out, but this time I would like to write an article about those three goddesses of fate.
Even Zeus cannot go against the decision of the Three Goddess of Destiny
Who are the daughters of the three goddesses of fate?
I haven't seen any established theory on this point since ancient times.
Hesiod, an ancient Greek poet, describes the three goddesses as the daughter of the night queen Nyx. It's the last boss of Persona 3!
Nyx is the "concept of death" itself, as was the case in Persona 3, and is said to be the creator of Monos, Kale, Thanatos, Nemesis, Hypnos, etc., that is, out of Pandora's box. It can be said that it is the creator of all the negative aspects that come.
The goddess of Nyx, the god of calamity that caused the Trojan War, and the most feared goddess of ruin in Greece, Atë, is also born of Nyx.
Nyx itself is not considered to have been born from Gaia, Zeus's grandmother, but from chaos like Gaia, and Hemera, the goddess of the day, is also said to have been born from Nyx.
Returning to the Three Goddesses of Destiny, they were reincarnated between Zeus and Themis after being born in Nyx.
Blue is out of indigo and not bluer than indigo, but even the gods can't go against their destined destiny, and Zeus basically doesn't seem to go against it either.
Clotho spins the thread of fate, Lachesis measures the length, and Atropos cuts it off. Atropos has the meaning of inevitability, and the three goddesses are even thought to be one in the first place.
The three goddesses are represented by the word moira, and the plural is moirai. At first, it seems that it was thought to be one of the things that govern fate.
This area is a conceptual story, so it is a difficult problem.
Thanatos is also a god who controls death, but it is also considered to be a kind of instinct for human beings to faint to death, and it is common that chaos is also a god and a concept. This area will become a world of ethics and philosophy.
In a sense, the strongest Greek mythology! ??
The 3 goddesses have high physical attack power in the first place, and they are also war hawks who beat and kill the giants who struggled even in Apollo and Heracles with a club.
It can be said that the reason why the three goddesses of fate are the strongest is that even that Zeus incapacitated the defeated Typhon.
Zeus is the strongest of the gods, and I think he would be a candidate for the championship if all the gods played the strongest deciding match, but only the ultimate creature Typhon created by his grandmother Gaia was defeated.
Even the gods Ares, Apollo, and Athens were completely toothless, but the three goddesses of fate succeeded in feeding Typhon the "unusual fruit" and incapacitated it.
This weakened Typhon and brought stability and tranquility to the world.
In a sense, these three goddesses may be said to be the strongest in Greek mythology.
Relationship with Roman mythology and Norse mythology Norns
The Roman gods are basically the same as Greece, but the pronunciation and notation are different because the languages are different.
Clotho corresponds to Nona, Lachesis corresponds to Decima, and Atropos corresponds to Morta.
Norn, which corresponds to Moira, exists in Norse mythology along with Greek mythology.
This is also a general term for the three goddesses Urds, Verzantin, and Skuld, and it is either the fate or the fate itself.
Since the formation of Edda and saga is more than 1000 years before Greek mythology, it seems that the story was imported from Greek mythology, and it seems that you can basically think of it as Moira-Norn.
I'm not sure why Atlas made Norns the Greek Fate 3 Goddess. I would like to ask you once.
It is common to bring stories from other myths when creating myths, and the flood legend in the Bible was originally mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and Sun Wukong of the West Yuki is the same as Hanuman of Ramayana. It is said that there are various things.
Even Japanese people celebrate Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and so on!
