A. Contributions to the ideas of Greeks and Romans

Greece and Rome are two counties that have greatly influenced American civilization as Americans know it. The Greeks and Romans have many similarities as well as differences that all contribute to the ways all societies have been formed. For example, Greek and Roman mythology are stories written about traditions, beliefs, and people that are based on particular events and situations that have taken place, and many of th

ese ideas have been carried out to today. For example, the ideas we have of the seasons, heavens, and destinies were all derived from previous Greek and Roman beliefs. The fates, otherwise known to the Greeks as Moirai, and to the Romans, Parcae, they were groups made up of three goddesses that were the rulers of the lives of men. There are many similarities that make these goddesses equally important in both Greek and Roman times. Mythology of the Greeks and Romans was very similar in the ways these gods and goddesses dressed, acted, and ruled.

The myth of the Moirai and the Parcae was that each of these goddesses played a significant role in the life of someone. Once a woman wanted to know the fate of her newly-born son, she would watch out at night for the Moirai or the Parcae to come. When they did appear, in the Greek belief, the goddesses would watch over the baby, and each of them would say how they felt the baby was going to be when they grew up. The mother of the child would spy to see what fate was determined for her child. The goddess, Klotho would declared that the baby would become beautiful, Lachesis would determine how strong the baby would be, and the goddess Atropos would say that the baby would live until the brand that lay on the fire burned to ashes(Archaeonia 1).
