My first thoughts after watching this video is that the first goddess is a symbol for birth. This can be your biological nature that influence where you go in life or your destiny. The second goddess is a symbol for selfreflection and looking at where your life is taking you. Then the third goddess seems to kill a part of you that is currently there by judging what part of you needs to die in order to fulfill your destiny and will make you be born again. Therefore the cycle starts again with the first goddess and you are born again. Kind of like a transformative symbol like the Phoenix. I could be wrong but this was the first thing that came to mind.
The Moirai and Erinyes provide clarity of why life exists, that life is predetermined and how one will be physically or mentally reared back on path when one strays from it. In other words that there is a balance to all things. The Greeks realized the need for and the existence of order and chaos. For small bouts of time order can be chaotic and chaos will be controlled. This happens all for the goal to reestalish an order required for a prosperous civilization to exist. The Moirai helped the Greeks understand that their life is like a string, delicately strong in the tapestry of existence. Providing reassurance that a life is already predetermined. For it is chaotic to not understand why one's life exists, and it is orderly to learn one is living a life in a predetermined fashion for whatever goal it may be - whether it's order or chaos. All is a part of the balance. The Erinyes are what some would call life's moral judge and jury to uphold order. An order that promoted a civilization to ultimatley prosper. When needed the Erinyes create chaos for the said morality of their designed order to prevail. The Erinyes are Controlled Chaos because they are bound by rules as well. There will always be balance and advocates, human or deity, to retain the balance.
Destiny is measured by individual descison. It can bring prosperity or loss upon any city-state in ancient Greece. Therefore, the Moroi and the Erinyes serve as a personification of freewill and it's consequential limitations into three parts: First, Themis's daughter's weave and evaluate human life, yet refuse to engage with them. Second, Nyx's daughter's, are responsible for dispensing judgment based on curses. Lastly, they are immune to favoritism...
I remember when I used to watch Xena and Hercules, the Fates were depicted as a young girl, an attractive woman, and an elderly woman. I've seen artwork where the Fates are two young women and an older woman with a dark aura as well as a teenage girl, an adult woman, and an elderly woman. Likewise, the Furies were depicted as normal, sexy women as opposed to having wings and snakes in their hair, which resemble gorgons 😅.
THE THREE FEMALES ARE PERSONIFICATIONS OF THE SUN, EARTH AND MOON. WE WERE 'FATED' TO BE HERE, BUT CAN STILL CHOOSE OUR OWN DESTINY THANK YOU FOR SUCH GREAT PRESENTATIONS! Dezert-Owl
In general, the ancient Greeks believed that at the moment of ones birth, everything that is to happen to them, has been pre determined. The Moirai did not actually determine anything, they simply personified 1. the inception of existence, 2. its entire course, and finally 3. its end. The reason why they could not be manipulated, is because they neither had the authority nor the ability to intervene, or change anything.
Why do you think the ancient Greeks believed their fates were predestined by three goddesses?
This trio was featured in the sandman series.

Yep, there are definitely a lot of different depictions of them out there, depending on the source/artist/writer, etc. Thanks for watching! 🙂

Hail to the Moirai and the Eumenides!
🙌🏼🙂
Need to do other versions from other cultures like the Norse.
Thanks for the suggestion. 🙂
Was Grad geschah ein Stück Schädl von Athena is von uns gegangen wegen ihrer Vergangenheit " absurde Ursprung"
So the ancient Greeks already knew about string theory....?
How is that different from modern determinism? Oh what you still believe in the illusion of free will?
👍🐉
