greek or other myth about spiders?
sometime ago in a philosophy class, the professor said something about spiders being created by the union of two lovers, thus the eight legs, but I haven't been able to find this myth anywhere, I just find the one about Arachne and Athen, but this isn't it. Can anybody shed some light about the myth of a spider being the union of two lovers? Thanks.

i know one that's close...sorry if this isn't the right one, but still it's interesting to think about.
so, supposedly, humans used to have two heads, four arms and four legs. these humans were far more powerful than we are now. zeus, threatened by these exceptional beings, split them all in two and scattered them across the globe, separating them from their other half, creating beings in the image of us today: one head, two arms, and two legs. the one heart they had was split in half. so now we spend our entire lives searching for that other half, trying to find our partner, so that we might make ourselves whole again.

Yes. These are very small and simple things. I can easily help you. Can you please afford to wait for at least one more week. My close friend knows, but now he has gone on tour to California. On his return, I will surely collect it from him and provide.
I sincerely feel that my duty is to serve genuine people particularly those who fall in line with philosophy or philosophic outlook.
