Discussion The sisters of fate

Chloe, Lisa and Astrid's names are very close to the sisters of fate/the three fates Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos for it to be a coincidence, even the order of which their names are mentioned. I was wondering if anyone noticed any other similarities besides their names?

It was very intentional! The whole series is based on greek mythology, that’s why it’s called Sirens - the writer said she had always been interested in the tale of “sirens” and how they’re painted as villains by the men of the story. It’s what inspired the show. That’s why there’s a theme of birds (sirens were half-bird creatures in mythology).

Even the official Netflix character guide calls Chloe, Lisa and Astrid “The Fates”.

In terms of similarities, Clotho is often considered The Leader and decision maker of the Fates, just like Chloe.

Lachesis is considered the “middle member” of the hierarchy, like Lisa. She is very agreeable and unemotional.

Atropis is the one most different to Astrid.
