Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos (also known as The Fates or The Moirai) are the three divine personifications of destiny. They control the metaphorical thread of life for every living thing from birth to death. Their Roman counterparts are the Parcae or Fata.
The Fates were said to be the daughters of either Nyx (the Night) or of Zeus and Themis (Law and Justice). There were three Fates: Clotho (the Spinner), Lachesis (the Measurer/Apportioner), and Atropos (the Unbending/Inflexible one). The Roman equivalent of the Fates are the Parcae.
What Greek mythology is mentioned in Percy Jackson?
In the Percy Jackson series, Poseidon's connection to earthquakes is also referenced, and his son Percy is shown to have the ability to control and cause earthquakes. His relationships with other characters in the series also mirror his relationships in Greek mythology.
Each of the three fates had different tasks. Clotho spun the thread of life, Lachesis measured the allotted length, and Atropos cut it off with shears, which is how they “weaved” mortal's destiny.
The following section contains spoilers for the Percy Jackson book series. In the original The Lightning Thief book, the Fates are spotted in the second chapter after Percy destroys Alecto/Mrs. Dodds. The Fates look at Percy from across the street and snip a thread of yarn as they do in Percy Jackson episode 5.

What book does Annabeth first kiss Percy?
In Battle of the Labyrinth, when Percy and Annabeth are in the volcano and Annabeth thinks Percy is going to die. Twice in The Last Olympian, once in the dining area, and once in the famous underwater kiss. Mutiple times in The Mark of Athena, one being when they reunite and the iconic judo flip happens.
He is aged fifteen in The Last Olympian, the son of Poseidon. Like Luke and Achilles he bathes in the River Styx and becomes invincible. He begins a romantic relationship with Annabeth Chase on his sixteenth birthday near the end of the book and even scores an underwater kiss.
The Fates were the fatherless offspring of Nyx or Night, a primordial force in her own right who was greater than any God. Nyx produced a variety of abstract concepts – I mean, children – including Death, Doom, Sleep, and Dreams. And none were so powerful as the three sisters known as the Fates.
The pair are first cousins once removed. Percy is the son of Poseidon and he is first cousins with Annabeth's mother Athena. Athena is, of course, the daughter of Poseidon's brother Zeus. In fact, pretty much all of the demigods are related to each other in some shape or form as they all descend from Kronos.
Fact: Percy Jackson is the son of one of the big three Greek gods – Poseidon, and is named after Perseus, another Greek hero. His birthday falls on August 18th. Percy's mum Sally Jackson met and fell in love with Poseidon, the Greek god of the seas, storms, and horses.
Poseidon is the Greek god of the sea, granting him domain over everything related to the ocean. He is also Percy's father, which explains Percy's superhuman strength and innate control over water. After World War II, brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades made a pact forbidding each other from having more kids.
I will bow my head . . . once I bow my head to say it shall be done. (1.626-631) Zeus believes that his will will be carried out, regardless of the circumstances. It appears that Zeus has full control of destiny with this absolute statement, but he is more aware than anyone that Troy's fall truly is fated and certain.
The Fates do not appear in person in Hades. However, they can interact with Zagreus through the Fated List of Minor Prophecies and are repeatedly mentioned by other characters, particularly by their mother Nyx or by other characters lamenting their cruelty or indifference.
1: Zeus is so powerfull that he had power of controlling events even before his birth. 2: Zeus is in conflict with his own mind, making him have severe lapses in judgment and knowledge. 3: Zeus does not control fate, but is tasked to make fate happen as part of his duties.
However, as the daughters of Ananke, the Fates are not negative or positive, they are objective, in the sense that “these things will just happen.” A third suggestion is that the Fates are the daughters of Themis, the goddess of justice and divine order.
According to one myth, Apollo (uh-POL-oh) tricked the Fates into letting his friend Admetus (ad-MEE-tuhs) live beyond his assigned lifetime. Apollo got the Fates drunk, and they agreed to accept the death of a substitute in place of Admetus.
In Greek mythology, the goddess Nyx was one of the oldest deities in the universe, born in the first moments of creation from the yawning abyss of Chaos. Nyx was the personification of night and was so ancient and powerful that even mighty Zeus was afraid to cross her.
Answer and Explanation: The Greek myths never reveal which god is more powerful. Zeus is the leader of the gods, but he does not attain this position because he is more powerful than Poseidon. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades draw lots to decide which parts of the world each would rule after defeating the Titans.
The Fates (Moirai) are more powerful than even Zeus. In the words of the poet Quintus of Smyrna, "To the Moirai, the might of Zeus must bow..." Another who is capable of defeating Zeus is Zeus himself. If his hubris is too much, he will be humbled.
