It's the Moirae: Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. Not only is there a Roman equivalent, there's a Norse and a Persian equivalent of the Moirae as well. And others, I'm sure.
Reply:They were called the Fates and Hesiod spun your life, Lachesis weaved it, and Atropos cuts the string of your life and kills you.
Reply:THREE FATES - Refers to having three of a kind using queens. - CLOTHO, LACHESIS AND ATROPOS-





SoundPoker Says: The term comes from Greek mythology in reference to the Fates (or Moirae), three sisters who decide on human fate. There is a certain irony in the name as having a set of queens is a fairly strong hand, depending on the cards on the board, that may indeed turn the tides of fate in ones favor so as to win the pot.





In Greek mythology, Clotho or Klotho, the Greek word 螝位蠅胃蠋 for "spinner", was the youngest of the Moirae (the Fates). It was Clotho who spun the threads of life with her distaff. According to Hesiod's Theogony, she and her sisters (Lachesis and Atropos) are the daughters of Night (by no one).





Her Roman equivalent was Nona (the 'Ninth'), who was originally a goddess called upon in the ninth month of pregnancy.-

Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos





Clotho was the spinner, Lachesis was the drawer of lots, and Atropos represented the inevitable end to life.

Reply:The Fates?
Reply:They are best well known as "The Three Fates/Oracle of Delphi". They were related to the same species as the legendary Medusa; the Gorgons. According to legend, the Greek heroine Perseus (whose inspiration came from that of the legendary son of Zeus %26amp; Hera; Hercules), was the son of the goddess of the hunt, Athena (who is said to have sprouted from Zeus' head). Upon his quest to save the princess Andromeda, he had to first slay the beast known as Medusa (we know from the legend, Athena gave him a reflective shield). After slaying the beast (%26amp; finding the legendary Pegasus near Mt. Olympus), Perseus returned with Medusa's head to turn Posiden's kraken to stone. He later then married Andromeda through her mother's (Cassiopeia) conscent.
