Sometimes the Fates are depicted as a young woman, a middle-aged woman, and an old woman. This is to show the daughter, mother, and old crone stages of life.

@JoannasAvon 3 года назад

@@xanderliptak Yes. That is why they are often said to predict the past, present and future and their physical forms represent that as well. :D.

i 100% came to the comments because I was taught this, and wanted to see if anyone else knew that part of the myth.

@yamitsukikarasu8857 3 года назад

Artemis, Selene and Hecate are often portrayed this way too. I find it interesting since they're from the same mythology.

@JoannasAvon 3 года назад

@@xanderliptak Every once in a while you will see the male version of a Crone in the human depictions of Zeus and Hades or in Hephaestus in his god form. The Crone is often defined as a very old woman, it is only in the current religions that she is seen as a "witchy" figure. Basically, it is any woman after she has reached the stage of her life past menopause that she is indeed a Crone. I would be considered one because I am at that stage of my life myself.

@jacobw4612 3 года назад

@@fae69s Because they are at Athena's temple and Athena is a virgin? Or maybe because Ovid depicted Athena that way? Or maybe it's just the Christianized version?

@sophiyageary6500 3 года назад

Amara Agunwa because worshipers at the temple were meant to be pure in all ways especially for Athena because she represented wisdom and purity, so when she was r*ped inside of athenas temple Athena took it as an offense and punished Medusa for being a “slut” essentially. However in different versions of the story, Medusa was actually blessed by Athena to have the ability to turn people in to stones. Because then she could defend herself if that were to happen again to her. It depends on the region of Greece the story is being told from.

I had once read that the fates were 3 women, and in another story I heard that they were of different ages … and by that they meant an old woman, a matron, and a maid. But upon further research it turns out that the last part is more of a Neopagan view and not an origins version of the fates.
