Everything According to Destiny

In ancient Greece, many of the stories came into being according to the oracles, people believed in everything they were told by fortune-tellers or prophets. Still, many people believe in it, but people don't live their lives expecting everything to happen as they told it. Many people think that events that were told by fortune-tellers and that actually happen are just a coincidence. In Ancient Greece, people believed deeply

In Perseus and Atlas, King Atlas lives according to the destiny that a prophecy had told "But Atlas remembered that an ancient prophecy had warned him that a son of Jove should one day rob him of his golden apples." You can see that this is based on the "destiny" that was to be part of the land. No one really wants to be part of a negative aspect of destiny they will always try to avoid it. The destiny said by the prophecy will be met one way or another not taking into consideration that some minimal details that might change. This was why the end of this myth meets the destiny proposed by the prophecy, in a very improbable way that people would consider. At first glance, people usually think there's really one way of accomplishing things, they never consider the most improbable way.
