Text of the page (random words):
s moiragetes meaning zeus leader of the moirai was inferred by pausanias from an inscription he saw in the 2nd century ad at olympia as you go to the starting point for the chariot race there is an altar with an inscription to the bringer of fate this is plainly a surname of zeus who knows the affairs of men all that the fates give them and all that is not destined for them 74 75 at the temple of zeus at megara pausanias inferred from the relief sculptures he saw above the head of zeus are the horai and moirai and all may see that he is the only god obeyed by moira pausanias inferred assertion is unsupported in cult practice though he noted a sanctuary of the moirai there at olympia 5 15 4 and also at corinth 2 4 7 and sparta 3 11 8 and adjoining the sanctuary of themis outside a city gate of thebes 76 cult and temples edit the three moirai relief grave of alexander von der mark de by johann gottfried schadow old national gallery berlin the fates had at least three known temples in ancient corinth sparta and thebes at least the temple of corinth contained statues of them on the akropolis acropolis of korinthos corinth the temple of the moirai moirae fates and that of demeter and kore core persephone have images that are not exposed to view 77 the temple in thebes was explicitly imageless along the road from the neistan gate at thebes in boiotia boeotia are three sanctuaries there is a sanctuary of themis with an image of white marble adjoining it is a sanctuary of the moirai moirae fates while the third is of agoraios agoreus of the market zeus zeus is made of stone the moirai moirae fates have no images 78 the temple in sparta was situated next to the grave of orestes 79 aside from actual temples there was also altars to the moirai among them was notably the altar in olympia near the altar of zeus moiragetes 75 a connection to zeus which was also repeated in the images of the moirai in the temple of despoine in arkadia 80 as well as in delphi where they were depicted with zeus moiragetes guide of fate as well as with apollon moiragetes guide of fate 81 on korkyra the shrine of apollo which according to legend was founded by medea was also
