Parcae Roman The origins of the Parcae in Roman mythology are unclear. By the time the influence of Greek mythology on Rome's religions reached its strongest, the Parcae had become the equivalent of the Greek Fates, three women who watched over a person's destiny. Their Roman names at this time were Nona, Decuma, and Morta. One presided over birth, one over marriage, and one over death. Scholars see some evidence that these three may have been part of a larger group of Roman goddesses, perhaps as many as nine, who watched over and guided many phases of a person's life.
