Atropos, in Greek mythology, was one of the three Moirai, goddesses of fate and destiny. She was the oldest of the Three Fates, and was known as "the Inflexible One," or "inevitable"
Her Roman equivalent was Morta. It was Atropos who chose the mechanism of death and ended the life of mortals by cutting their threads. She worked along with her two sisters, Clotho, who spun the thread, and Lachesis, who measured the length. Atropos has been featured in several stories such as Atalanta and Achilles.
