"Althea" acquired with Oinea, Toxaea, Thyrea, Klymen, Meleagros and Meleagrides Gorgis and Dimianeira. During the later legend, when Meleagros was a seven-day infant, the Moires appeared in "Althaia" to tell her future. The first Moira, Cloth, told her that her son had a brave soul, the second, Lachesis, that she would be prolific, while the third, Atropos after seeing a torch, said her son would die when the wood of the torch would completely burn. Later, when Meleagros grew up, he took part in the hunting of Kalydon.
