I recall a description of Agamemnon "putting his neck into the yoke of fate" or something to that regard. Like the Hellenes, I don't believe that one can escape or transcend the designs of moira. I think the best man can do is to cooperate with the lot the universe, fate, God has designed. If man can rewrite the strands of fate, then is not man at that point a god?

The myths of the past seem consistent with the theme of man reaching for godhood in his hubris, only to be drawn back into the web of fate. The "Fall" in the Western monotheism, Gigamesh's journey beyond the limits of this spacetime, tragedy of Oedipus, Arjuna's despair in Baghavagita all speak of the hubris and futility in reaching for godhood.
