Labdakos to Lethe Leto to Lysizonos
One of the Fates; she and her sisters are the daughters of Zeus and Themis; her sisters are: Klotho (Clotho) and Atropos.
The Fates determine the life and death of all mortal beings.
Lakhesis is known as the Disposer of Lots; she determines the length of the thread of life; Klotho spins the thread of life; Atropos cuts the thread when the proper time has come for death.
The three sisters are also called the Moirai to denote their descent from the original goddess of Fate, Moira.
