Description
Cruel Mistress´ of our Fate. The ancient greek Moirai are older than the hellenic culture and existed in various forms in other times and societies. Names are Klotho (the Weaver), Lachesis (the Measurer) and Atropos (cuts the life-thread). The greek believed, that none could change the verdicts of the Moirai, not even Zeus. Fore the Etruscans, the Moirai stood above the Gods.
Not without compassion, but without mercy!

Thank Yo, Mooch! Here´s to You: "Les anciens Moirai grecs sont plus anciens que la culture hellénique et existaient sous diverses formes à d'autres époques et sociétés. Les noms sont Klotho (le tisserand), Lachesis (le mesureur) et Atropos (coupe le fil de vie). Les Grecs croyaient que personne ne pouvait changer les verdicts des Moirai, pas même Zeus. Avant les Étrusques, les Moirai se tenaient au-dessus des dieux. Non sans compassion, mais sans miséricorde !"

A lot of these have a slightly creepy feel to it, but the first takes the cake! Very cool looking and nice background in the description

Well, so they do their work! :) I was away on a job for a while, but heard such pictures are not allowed anymore. Thats a pity, but I can understand that in many aspects.
