    The Fates were having a fun family reunion until the toddlers got into a fight over a dice game.

    There’s a ton of interesting symbolism in this painting, but what I really wonder is, why is there an accurate depiction of a European goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) on the far left-hand side?

    When they were three, the Moirai (Three Fates) were:

    Clotho (/ˈkloʊθoʊ/, Greek Κλωθώ [klɔːˈtʰɔː] – “spinner”) spun the thread of life from her Distaff onto her Spindle. Her Roman equivalent was Nona, (the ‘Ninth’), who was originally a goddess called upon in the ninth month of pregnancy.

    Lachesis (/ˈlækɪsɪs/, Greek Λάχεσις [ˈlakʰesis] – “allotter” or drawer of lots) measured the thread of life allotted to each person with her measuring rod. Her Roman equivalent was Decima (the ‘Tenth’).

    Atropos (/ˈætrəpɒs/, Greek Ἄτροπος [ˈatropos] – “inexorable” or “inevitable”, literally “unturning”,19 sometimes called Aisa) was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of each person’s death; and when their time was come, she cut their life-thread with “her abhorred shears”.20 Her Roman equivalent was Morta (‘Dead One’).

    Holy cow, Radish, you’re turning this into an education ! Actually, I (for one) really appreciate this kind of contribution. I knew they were the Fates, but was driving myself nuts trying to understand what’s going on here. Thanks!

    I’m interested in what appears to be a factory in the background on the left.

    the dead city lies behind the shoulder of death

    the spinner is the only one of the three to wear clothes

    the rod that measures life looks like a simple arrow, of time?

    No I don’t know what is going on with the dude in the blue jacket.
