Clotho is one of the three Fates in Greek mythology, known as the spinner of the thread of life. She is responsible for creating and controlling the life span of individuals by spinning the thread that represents their destiny. Clotho's role emphasizes the beginning of life and the potential that each person holds.
In addition to Clotho, her sisters, Lachesis and Atropos, also play crucial roles in the life cycle. Lachesis measures the length of the thread, determining how long a person will live, while Atropos cuts the thread, signifying the end of life. Together, they symbolize the inevitability of fate and mortality.
