ReplyDeleteis antheia her daughter
ReplyDeleteThe fates are the daughters of zeus and his second wife. Not Nyx
ReplyDeleteThere are many different versions of the story. Eros is sometimes depicted as Aphrodite's son, and sometimes as nyx's son.
DeleteAnd sometimes as Chaos's son
DeleteWrong. The three fates are primordial making them of Nyx first. But did later become the daughters of Zeus and had Zeus go after their own brother Hypnos, who ran to his mother's cave to flee from Zeus. Zeus called off the chase scared that Nyx would call all her daughter's to aid in the protection of her son Hypnos. Zeus was never a match against all the primordial daughters of Nyx... Know your facts.
DeleteUhhh- counting the fates... there is only 13 children in total shown. So... where are the other two and who are they? I'm so confused, lol.
