The fantastical has the ability to take you as far as the mind can reach. And Greek tradition offers us rich transcendental stories from its depths. Fairies and elves, dragons and serpents, mermaids, dwarfs and witches, doors hiding treasures, monsters, and brave heroes come to life in the new series Stories of Modern Greek Mythology, which is inspired by the legends, customs, and traditions of our heritage. The Fates are three. They live in a large cave at the edge of the world, so large and dazzling that it is like a palace. The Fates resemble women in every way, except they are immortal. They often leave their home and go out into the world to distribute the children. And they dress in their best when they go. The mothers of the children await them. They have tidied the house, left three glasses of water, three plates of food, and three of sweets to appease them. The Fates hold a spindle, a distaff, and scissors... And a book in which they write how they distributed the child.
