From the Branches: Lahkesis, Atropos, and Clotho be with us

Related Topics: Atropos, Clotho, Lachesis (mythology)

Listen Fates, who sit nearest of gods to the throne of Zeus, and weave with shuttles of adamant, inescapable devices for councels of every kind beyond counting, Atropos, Clotho and Lachesis, fine-armed daughters of Night, hearken to our prayers, all-terrible goddesses, of sky and earth. Send us rose-bossomed Lawfulness, and her sisters on glittering thrones, right and crowned peace, and make this city forget the misfortunes which lie heavily on her heart.

-- Pindar

I wonder how many hockey blogs are posting their invocation to the Greek goddesses of Fate, today?
