GR translation: God under the aspect of Atropos

[Dave Monroe]

Atropos

"In Greek mythology, Atropos was one of the three Moirae, the Fates,
the female deities who supervised fate rather than determine it.
Atropos was the fate who cut the thread or web of life. She was known
as the 'inflexible' or 'inevitable; and cut this thread with the
'abhorred shears.' She worked along with Clotho, who spun the thread,
and Lachesis, who measured the length. They were the daughters of Zeus
and Themis (the goddess of order.) It is not clear whether the fates
were superior to Zeus or if he was subject to them as mortals were.
The Roman name of the fates are Nona, Decuma, and Morta.

"Atropos or Aisa (/ˈætrəpɒs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄτροπος "without turn"),
in Greek mythology, was one of the three Moirai, goddesses of fate and
destiny. Her Roman equivalent was Morta.

"Atropos was the oldest of the Three Fates, and was known as the
'inflexible' or 'inevitable.' It was Atropos who chose the mechanism
of death and ended the life of each mortal by cutting their thread
with her 'abhorred shears.' She worked along with her two sisters,
Clotho, who spun the thread, and Lachesis, who measured the
length...."

"Atropos lends her name to the genus Atropa, of which the poisonous
plant Atropa belladonna (Deadly Nightshade) and the alkaloid atropine,
an anticholinergic drug which is derived from it, are members."
