Lachesis is incorrectly written, and should be written as "Lachesis" being its meaning: One of the three fates or Moirae, daughters of Erebus and Nix, who determine the fate of every human: Clotho, the spinner, making with your Distaff the thread of life; Lachesis, the measuring, laying down with his Rod length and Orthus, the inevitable, that cuts it with your scissors. Lachesis, which take luck, derived from the verb lanchano: get by luck or by decision of the destination. Some representations show her as a woman ugly, old and lame. Plato in the Republic called the daughter of the need.
