6. The Graeae

They first appeared in Greek Mythology and have since be seen in many tales. The Graeae are three witches who share between themselves one eye, one tooth and one wig.

They lent the eye, the tooth and the wig to the one who wish to appear to the humans. It is said Jason tricked them into helping him by stealing their eye, tooth and wig. The three sisters are either described as fair-skinned and beautiful or as old hags. The latter, for example, is how they appear in the famous Macbeth of Shakespeare as they predict a bloody future to the eponymous hero.
