The Fates,Graiae, Horae,Heliadae etc.

The Fates also called the Moerae or the Parcae
The goddesses of fate. Their name means "allotters". According to who you read, their mother was Nyx, or Gaea, or Ananke, fathered by Zeus yet in most myths they were eternal and more powerful than any of the Gods; and they are, or are not, sisters to the Horae or to the Erinyes. In any case, they are responsible for the beginning, the middle, and the end of each life; they appear as old women spinning out the individual's life like thread from a spinning wheel.

They are:

Clotho
She who draws the thread from the spindle (the beginning).
Lachesis
She who measures the lenth of thread (the middle).
Atropos/Astropos
She who cuts the thread of life (the ending), and appeared as a crone.
 
 
 
 
 

Heliadae
The female descendants of Helios, the sun god. The prominent myth featuring them is the one concerning the driving of Helios'
sun chariot across the sky by Phaeton, his half-mortal son. The Heliadae yoked the horses to the chariot for him, and when the
disastrous ride was over and Phaeton was dead, they felt at fault and wept uncontrollably and unceasingly until Zeus changed
them into poplar trees. Their tears became pieces of amber. The male descendants of Helios were called Heliades. Both male
and female descendants are listed here:

By Rhodos:
Actis, Candalus, Cercaphus, Electryone, Macareus, Ochimus, Tenages, and Triopas.

By Clymene:
Aegiale, Aetheria, Dioxippe, Merope, Phaeton, Lampethusa, Phaethusa, and Phatusa.
 
 
 

The Horae
The Horae (The Greek word can mean "hours", "seasons", or "years") are goddesses of the seasons and/or goddesses that
ruled the order of human society. Their names, ancestry, and numbers vary considerably. Some mythographers say their mother is Themis. The Athenians list only two (Thallo and Carpo), Hesiod only three (Eunomia, Dike, and Irene), Hyginus listed as many as eleven. They are depicted as young maidens, holding such things as a branch in flower, an ear of corn, etc. They make
cameo appearances in the myths of other gods/goddesses, but have no myths of their own (with the exception of Dike, see below). They did have specific functions, however, such as guarding the gates of heaven (the opening and closing of the gates were accomplished by the removing or replacing of a thick cloud), and the feeding/caring of Hera's steeds (which they fed ambrosia).
Among the names variously bandied about are:

Acme

Auxo

Anatole

Carpo ("Autumn")
Bringer of fruit.

Dike ("Justice")
She grew weary of the constantly warring humans and withdrew to the mountains to await a more peaceful age. When that
never came to pass, instead getting worse and worse, Dike, losing hope for mankind, rose to the heavens and became the
constellation Virgo.

Dysis ("Sunset")

Eunomia ("Lawfulness")
Saw that laws were observed.

Euporia

Gymnasia

Irene (Eirene) ("Peace")

The Graiae

The Graeae (means "gray ones" or "the crones") were the three sisters of the Gorgons. They were swan maidens who guarded the approach to their sister's sanctuary. They were gray-haired (from birth), and, according to some myths, had but one eye and one tooth between them.They were very wise. Daughters of Phorcys and Ceto, they were personifications of the white foam of the sea.
They were:

Pemphredo ("wasp") or alarm
The beautifully clothed one.

Enyo ("the shaker") horror
She who always dresses in yellow.

Deino ("the terrifier") or dread
 
 
 
 
 

Hippocampus (Roman):
The hippocampus is a creature that is half-horse and half-fish, with the head and forequarters of
a horse and the tail and hindquarters of a dolphin. It had forelegs with webbed paws, and may have a fin on the back of its neck. Neptune's chariot was pulled through the ancient seas by several of these creatures, and Neptune was occasionally seen riding one.
