| ENT_MOIRAI | SRC_HESIOD_THEOGONY | direct attestation | Theogony 217-220: the three Moirai (Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos — "who give mortal men evil and good to have") are daughters of Night in the first account; Theogony 901-906 gives a second account: born of Zeus and Themis; Hesiod is the foundational text for the Moirai as three named goddesses of destiny; the first account (as daughters of Nyx) places them outside divine authority, the second subordinates them to Zeus |
