Lachesis (/ˈlækəsəs/; Greek: [[Λάχεσις]], Lakhesis, "disposer of lots", from [[λαγχάνω]], lanchano, "to obtain by lot, by fate, or by the will of the gods"), in ancient Greek religion, was the second of the Three Fates, or Moirai; the others were her sisters, Clotho and Atropos. Normally seen clothed in white, Lachesis is the measurer of the thread spun on Clotho's spindle, and in some texts, determines Destiny, or thread of life. Her Roman equivalent was Decima. Lachesis was the apportioner, deciding how much time for life was to be allowed for each person or being. She measured the thread of life with her rod. She is also said to choose a person's destiny after a thread was measured. In mythology, it is said that she appears with her sisters within three days of a baby's birth to decide the baby's fate. | |||

Η Λάχεση (Λάχεσις) ήταν μία από τις τρεις Μοίρες της ελληνικής μυθολογίας. Ήταν η μεσαία αδελφή, οι άλλες δύο ήταν η Κλωθώ και η Άτροπος. Σύμφωνα με τη Θεογονία του Ησίοδου ήταν κόρες της Νύχτας. Σύμφωνα με άλλη πηγή όμως ήταν κόρες της Θέμιδος και του Δία. | |||
Η Λάχεση αντιπροσώπευε το μέλλον της ζωής των ανθρώπων, επειδή το τέλος, σύμφωνα με τη φύση, εκδηλώνεται σε όλα τα πράγματα. Όριζε τη διάρκεια της ζωής του κάθε ανθρώπου μετρώντας με το ραβδί της. | |||
