It is the singular of the fates. In Roman mythology, the fates ( in latin Parcae ) they were the personifications of the destiny or fate. They controlled the metaphorical thread of life of every mortal and immortal from birth to death. Even the gods feared the fates: the own Jupiter was subject to his power. Their Greek equivalents were the Moirae and the Norns in Norse mythology of the Northern Germanic peoples. The fates are the goddesses of destiny.
