The question then becomes, how did the information get from them to the Gorgons? Although that may not be hard; according to Greek mythology, the gods were compulsive gossips...
The Fates reading the threads of life are Greek mythology, though, not Wapsi mythology as far as I've seen. Given the way in which popular mythology tends to be turned about in this comic, the Fates (assuming that they even existed in this setting) might simply have been some of the earliest expert statisticians who used some really good actuarial parchments.
“Mmmm hmmm. . .according to my calculations, the client has a ninety-seven percent chance of a sexual encounter with a top-ranking member of the pantheon within the next ten years.”

“Ninety-seven percent? Why so low?”

I really wouldn't know whether or not you're looking more and more like Atsali. . .
I get the feeling that the Atsali + Castela dynamic = Euryale + Medusa dynamic is not entirely accidental. The elder two both even have the same book-lovin' nature as youngsters.
Oh! That does help clarify things. And Euryale does have a smaller bust in the present image, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised that the memories aren't of her.

That's Euryale in the top panel, and in the bottom two faded panels, it's Medusa.

I'm done thinking for today! It's caused me enough trouble!

Nor the mammaries.
