One to create the the thread of life, one to measure it and one to cut it.

In one particular modern fantasy novel, Death came to shout at Atropos for cutting the wrong end of the thread of life.

Clotho is the first, she takes the string. Lachesis measures it. Atropos cuts....The Moirae Sisters.

Way too young. Fates can't be young women, just.. just can't, okay!

The sisters with 1 eye and 1 tooth between them were the graea. They were sisters to the gorgons. They are not the fate weavers

Norse mythology tho, Odin swapped an eyeball for "wisdom".

I believe you're thinking of something else, because in Greek mythology they're just old women. The hags, which I forget at the moment(1/?)

Have one eye, one tooth, and I think something else. The Fates are different entirely.(2/2)

Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos, if I remember my mythology right. Or rather Piers Anthony’s spin on them.
