Atropos
Atropos is also a British entomological journal - see
Atropos (journal).In
Greek mythology, Atropos (Άτροπος, "without turn") was one of the three
Moerae, Goddesses of
fate and
destiny. She was the oldest of the
Three Fates, and was known as the "inflexible" or "inevitable." It was Atropos who chose the mechanism of death and ended the life of each mortal by cutting their thread with her "abhorred shears." She worked along with
Clotho, who spun the thread, and
Lachesis, who measured the length. Her origin, along with the other two fates, is uncertain, although some called them the daughters of the night. It is clear, however, that at a certain period they ceased to be concerned with death and became instead those powers which decided what must happen to individuals. Although
Zeus was the chief Greek god and their father, he was still subject to the decisions of the Fates, and thus the executor of destiny rather than its source.Atropos and her sisters were in corporated in
Hercules (1997 film) which she was voiced by the Late
Paddi Edwards and is know voiced by
Tress MacNeille

Atropos
Atropos (
Oudgrieks: ) of de Onafwendbare is de oudste van de
Schikgodinnen. Zij knipte de levensdraad van de persoon door wanneer zijn of haar tijd om was. Ze werkte samen met
Clotho die de draad spon en
Lachesis die de lengte bepaalde van de draad.Hun oorsprong is onzeker. Vele teksten hebben het over drie dochters van
Zeus en de titane
Themis, hoewel
Hesiodus hen in zijn werk de dochters van
Nyx (godin van de nacht) noemde.De Romeinse tegenhanger was Morta. Naar deze godin is ook een geslacht planten genoemd in de
Nachtschadefamilie:
Atropa. De meesten zijn vrij giftig, vandaar ook de naamkeuze.
