Clotho: “Clotho

by Hilary Thomas, Clarksville Middle School

Clotho, a goddess from Greek mythology, is the youngest of the three Fates, but one of the oldest goddesses in Greek mythology. She is a daughter of Zeus and Themis. Each fate has a certain job, whether it be measuring thread, spinning it on a spinning wheel, or cutting the thread at the right length. Clotho is the spinner, and she spins the thread of human life with her distaff. The length of the string will determine how long a certain person’s life will be. She is also known to be the daughter of Night, to indicate the darkness and obscurity of human destiny. No one knows for sure how much power Clotho and her sisters have, however, they often disobey the ruler, Zeus, and other gods. For some reason, the gods seem to obey them, whether because the fates do possess greater power, or as some sources suggest, their existence is part of the order of the Universe, and this the gods cannot disturb.”

sample quote:

“I’m not sure if the scary thing about Simon LeBon’s book club is the fact that it exists or if it’s that his book club is a lot more alluring than Oprah’s. I mean, they’re reading Master and Margarita, Cryptonomicon, and The Black Dahlia. I bet Jonathan Frazen would be honored to be chosen by the Simon LeBon book club, logo or no. “
