Answer 4

Hercules was human and the fates tried to stop him and failed. im sure its not the same story your talking about tho

Answer 5

for an interesting twist - there's a modern day book about a descendent of one of the Fates trying to cheat the Fates.  It's called WebMage by Kelly McCullough.  I think its part of a series.  You may enjoy that.  I've never actually heard of the Fates failing in greek myth though there might have been a time.  Usually it was a matter of someone trying to cheat their destiny and having it happen despite or even because of what they've done.  I think the over riding belief was that everyone falls to Fate eventually.

Answer 6

you are thinking of a disney version of the story of hercules
