Ananke is a piece in a suite of works called Celestial Forms and Stories. Each piece in the suite considers Italo Calvino analysis of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Ananke is the mother of the three fates, Clotho, the spinner, Lachesis, the granter and Atropos, the obstinate. Above even the Gods, the three aspects of fate seemed to be an apt inspiration for a final work that considers Ovid’s influence on contemporary literature.
