The quote from episodes 12 and 13 sounds like it could be a myth about the Doctor from the point of view of those who hate him.
Probably isn't but just a thought...
That's certainly a possibility - reading it through again it would apply to him!
I can't wait for all of these episodes! They sound amazing!! :D
i've just looked up the Fates on wikipedia and i found this:
A supposed epithet Zeus Moiragetes, meaning "Zeus Leader of the Moirae" was inferred by Pausanias from an inscription he saw in the second century AD at Olympia: "As you go to the starting-point for the chariot-race there is an altar with an inscription to the Bringer of Fate.[2] This is plainly a surname of Zeus, who knows the affairs of men, all that the Fates give them, and all that is not destined for them."[3] At the Temple of Zeus at Megara, Pausanias inferred from the relief sculptures he saw "Above the head of Zeus are the Horai and Moirae, and all may see that he is the only god obeyed by Moira."
referring to the oldest cliff face?
and the three fates roman names tranlated were ninth, tenth and death. does this mean regenerations?
as for great love this could be talking about zeus, who was father of the Fates, and their mother: either Ananke or Themis (he had the most children with themis suggesting undying love?)
sorry for all of that lol.
