| ENT_MOIRAI | SRC_HOMER_ILIAD_ODYSSEY | direct attestation | The Moirai (Fates) are named in the Iliad as the force that assigns each person their portion at birth; Iliad XXIV.209-210 (Hecuba says a Moira gave Hector his spirit); XX.127; the concept of moira as a binding fate operates throughout both epics; the three-fold Clotho/Lachesis/Atropos division is Hesiodic, not Homeric |
