Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lucian, Vol. 2 of 7: With an English Translation
The part played by the Fates is unusual. Instead of spinning destinies up aloft as in the Charon, two of them are given a share In the convoying of souls to the underworld, Atropos turning them over to Hermes and Clotho presiding over their reception at the ferry. Clotho' s function thus in great measure duplicates that assigned to Aeaous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
