Feared by even Zeus, king of the gods, they were respected by the Greek pantheon. The three Fates, fabled immortal goddesses, spin, measure, and cut each and every being’s thread of life. Outliving even the gods and goddesses, they have seen their legacy discredited as mere myths.

Why have they returned and when will they learn to stop baiting fate?…
