The Fates Bio

We are three sisters known as the Fates, or the Moirae. We control the destiny of man and god alike. Klotho, meaning "spinner", spins the thread of life. Lachesis, meaning "caster of lots", measures the thread of life. Atropus. meaning "unbending", cuts the thread of life. It is unclear who our parents are. Some say we are the daughters of Erebus and Nyx, while others say we are the daughters of Zeus and Themis. While we are considered the most powerful of the gods, Zeus can change our decisions, and we can occasionally be manipulated.

Pygmalion

My name is Pygmalion and I am a talented sculptor in ancient Greece. I love my work and I can spend hours carving a statue. Once, I built a beautiful statue of a woman and I named her Galatea. She was so beautiful that I clothed her and gave her jewels, talked to her everyday, and brought her gifts. Woman did in fact like me, but I never paid any attention to them. I became so disgusted with all the local prostitutes that I began falling in love with Galatea. She was perfect and I started to believe she was more than just a statue. I went to visit Aphrodite and she was charmed by my creation, and she brought it to life. Soon after, Galatea and I got married and throughout our life we brought gifts to Aphrodite's temple and she blessed us with love and happiness in return.

Demeter

I am Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and fertility. Because my name is derived from the Latin mater, meaning mother, and my close relationship with the earth, I am often mistaken for Rhea, mother Earth. When I gave humans the gift of agriculture, a planned society followed, so I am often a symbol of peace. However, I am best known for bringing about the seasons. My daughter Persephone was stolen by Zeus and given to Hades of the Underworld. I was so upset by the loss o my daughter that I stopped caring for the earth. Zeus was so concerned by this that he forced Hades to give me back my daughter. Unbeknownst to me, Hades gave Demeter six pomegranate seeds, forcing her to revisit the Underworld for six months every year, because once you eat the food of the Underworld, you must return. Even now I still refuse to nourish the earth without my daughter, thus creating winter. The Elysian mysteries, a large festival, celebrated the return of my Persephone each year.

Cain and Abel

Abel was the good son of Adam and Eve, along with his evil brother Cain. Cain was a crop farmer while Abel was a sheperd. Cain commited the first murder by killing his brother, after God rejected his crops and favored Abel's animals. With this, Cain is considered sinful, while Abel is the first martyr.

Cynthia

My name is Cynthia but I am also known as Diana. I am the goddess of the moon, associated with animals and woodland. I am also known to be the virgin goddess to look after woman and virgins. I have a twim brother named Apollo and my parents are Jupiter and Latona.

I am Venus, the Roman goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. The Greeks called me Aphrodite, but I served the same purpose in their culture. It has been said that I descended from Uranus, but others say that my parents were Zeus and Dione. My son, Aeneas, fled Troy during the Trojan war. His descendants founded the city of Rome. Many temples have been erected in my honor, demonstrating the reverence towards me of the ancient peoples.

Perseus

I'm Perseus. Son of Zeus and Danae, I am one of the most celebrated heroes in Greek Mythology. If I had to pick one accomplishment to tell, it would be my slaying of Medusa, who's eyes could turn you to stone, and my saving of Princess Andromeda. I, being a demigod, have super human strength and agility. I'm also very skilled at hand to hand combat such as sword fighting.
