Two major myths that are present in Classical mythology are “Clash of Titans” and “The Three Sisters of Fate”. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS REFERRING TO. Both these myths are an important part of mythology and are giving different new concepts to the people of the modern era. There is a lot of difference between these myths as one of the most common difference is that at the beginning of creationClash of Titans AVOID USING ‘CLASH OF THE TITANS’ AS IT RECALLS THE MOVIE, there was only Chaos that is responsible for making all the things while on the other hand there wereas [three goodness] UNCLEAR. Goddesses? in the myth of “The Three Sisters of Fate”. The name of three goodness of fate areinclude Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis and all three were important for the people because they were responsible for making the fate of the people according to their own needs. The concept of both the stories is different significantly as it has been mentioned from the analysis that the first myth is about Chaos and it related to its link with the earth and many other things (Crespy, 2014).
The concept of the second myth is related to three sisters that weave the fate of gods and human alike. The myth claimed that these three sisters were responsible for giving happiness or sadness to the humans without getting compliments from others. The research has claimed that no one was able to question the actions and judgments of the three sisters of fate because they were having full authority in making the fate of humans and gods. All three have different functions. The from which one of the youngest sisters ,whose name was Clotho spins the thread of life and her thread was the most important thing in the world. It has been found that she is the origin of life as well as the creation of life, therefore, her thread spun for the birth of people that is the most important thing inof the people’s life. While OBE CAREFUL WITH SENTENCE CONSTRUCTION, SYNTAX AND PUNCTUATION. On the other hand, it is mentioned in the first story that dense and high darkness covered all things in the world and then earth came out of Chaos. [Not only earth different other things] UNCLEAR WORDING AND MEANING have also born out of Chaos from which most common things include sea, mountain, sky, sun, moon, and stars.
I DON’T SEE A CLEAR CONNECTION BETWEEN THE THEOGONY AND THE FATES.
All these things are important for the life of people, therefore, it is mentioned in the myth WHICH MYTH? that the life of people came into being due to Chaos which showed that it is the most important and significant thing in the world. After the birth of all these things, [Uranus from the sky and earth who were born out of Chaos] UNCLEAR CONSTRUCTION came together and gave birth to the Titans. It is mentioned in the myth that “Uranus and Earth came together and gave birth to the Titans. But, Uranus was afraid that one of his children would take his throne”. WHAT TEXT ARE YOU QUOTING FROM? THE TEXTBOOK? GIVE SPECIFIC REFREENECE AND QUOTE FROM THE ANCIENT TEXTS. They were responsible for controlling their children but cannot get success in their process. Thus it has been found that oOne of the sons of Uranus named Cronus defeated the Titan because he was more strongstronger than him. After defeating the Titan, Cronus became the leader of the entire world and married Rhea. The concept of God and Goddesses started from their marriage because it is mentioned in the story that they gave birth to three Goddesses and two Gods that include Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon, and ZEUS..
It has become clear that both the myths are different from each other in such a manner that AGAIN, ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE MYTHS OF CREATION AND THEOGONY HERE?Clash of Titans is the story of five Gods and Goddesses who had fought with their father Titan because he was a cruel person and wanted to become the leader of the entire world, but the myth of three sisters has claimed that three sisters were the most important thing of the world WHAT IS YOUR SOURCE FOR THIS? YOU NEED TO GIVE MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE FATES. because they were the one who was responsible to decide thegive birth of to the people and give them fate. It is mentioned in the myth of three sisters that “Lachesis, the second sister, is the one that allocates the fate of people during life”. WHAT IS THE SOURCE FOR THIS QUOTE?
The functions were divided among all the sisters such as the function of Lachesis was to allocate the fate of humans during their entire life (Ellidag, 2016). Thus, it has become clear that both myths are different from each other and are giving new findings to the people about the thinking of ancient people. It has been determined from the analysis of the modern people that they are getting new thoughts and ideas from the myths of classical mythology. The most important concept of the myth that people are taking from them is “Atropos who is one of the sisters of fate is the cutter of the thread of life and with her shears, she determines how someone will die”. People in this modern society are still thinking that sisters of fate exist and make their fate. I AM NOT SURE THIS IS THE CASE. WHAT IS YOUR SOURCE FOR THIS?

I THINK YOU NEED TO FIND TWO MYTHS THAT HAVE MORE CONNECTIONS. YOU COULD DISCUSS THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD AND GODS COMPARING THE VERSIONS IN OVID. METAMORPHOSES 1 AND IN HESIOD, FOR EXAMPLE. YOU COULD ALSO COMPARE TRIOS OF DIVINE SISTERS: THE FATES AND THE GRACES, THE FATES AND THE GRAEAE, ETC.
