"fate" represents the "rule of law" of the cosmic order, which even the gods are subject to. no one is above the law. not even zeus, the "king" of the universe.*
#*there is some debate (among me and myself) about whether or not zeus is totally subject to fate#but even if he wasn't 100% subject to it he is /generally/#and whenever he isn't it could just be interpreted as him declaring a state of exception#sorta like lincoln did during the civil war#sometimes it's necessary to step outside the law to preserve it#but point is: it's just more evidence for my “republic of god” theology#it's also worth noting that zeus has a unique relationship with the fates#if fate is the law then zeus would be the executive#the one responsible for executing the law#and we see him do that on a number of occasions -- dealing out the fates of people#not to mention that executing the law is essentially his responsibility as king of the universe and god of law and justice and cosmic order#so he doesn't get to dictate the law/fate but he does carry it out
