Fate, or the idea that events are predetermined and inevitable, plays a significant role in Greek mythology. According to the myth, the three Fates, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, were responsible for spinning the thread of life, measuring it out, and cutting it when a person's time had come.

The concept of fate in Greek mythology raises questions about free will and personal responsibility. Were the gods and mortals of Greek mythology bound by fate, or did they have the ability to make their own choices?

While the concept of fate is often seen as a deterministic force in Greek mythology, there are also instances where individuals are able to resist their fate and change their destiny. These stories provide a glimpse into the complex interplay between fate and free will in Greek mythology.
