One thing I would like to research more about when going into my project is... Greek Mythology! Since I am incorporating this subject into my film opening, I have decided to depict accurate information that can be furthered into the characters and their personality, outfits, and overall aura. Due to the Fates being so similar, it is important to differentiate them from one another having each one not be too similar to another. This being, once I have each character linked to its history it will be easier to interpret their traits and identify their overall persona.
What is Greek Mythology?
Greek Mythology is traditional stories past down by the ancient Greeks this includes epics and poems. These stories often follow Gods, Goddesses, and other Mythical creatures/beings. There are a range of themes that can be seen throughout epics, some include love, fate, honor, and loyalty.
The Fates
The fates are three goddesses also known as Moirai which means, “lots destines”. This is fitting considering the fates’ role is determining the destiny of the mortals. The three fates include Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.
Clotho- Spins the thread of fate (sang of the past)
Lachesis- Measures the length of the thread (sang of the present)
Atropos- Cuts the thread with scissors, determining the moment of death (sang of the future)
