In Greek mythology, the Graeae (Ancient Greek: Γραῖαι; /ˈɡriːiː/; English translation: "old women", alternatively spelled Graiai and Graiae) were three sisters who had gray hair from their birth and shared one eye and one tooth among them.[1] They were also called the Grey Sisters and the Phorcides ("daughters of Phorcys").[2]
