The Fates were a common motif in European polytheism, most frequently represented as a group of three mythological goddesses (although the numbers differed in certain eras and cultures). They were often depicted as weavers of a tapestry on a loom, with the tapestry dictating the destinies of men. The primary instances were: *Moirai, the Fates of Greek mythology who control the Threads of Fate *Parcae, the Fates of Roman mythology *Sudice (mythology), the Fates of Slavic mythology *Norns, the Fates of Norse mythology and related to other female deities in Germanic paganism This motif has been replicated in fictional accounts, such as: *Three Witches, characters in Shakespeare's ''Macbeth'' *The Fates, characters in Disney's ''Hercules'' *The Sisters of Fate (God of War II), video game characters based on the Greek Fates. ==See also== *Matres and Matrones, ancient deities venerated in northwestern Europe *Fate (disambiguation) * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fates」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
