Havn't blogged for a long time, since i dont have alot to blog about.. well continuing from my last post, Mother Teresa is not as boring as i thought it would be. And i just found out that alot of words comes from Greek myths. Take 'Arachnids' the word used as a class for creatures like spiders. As legend goes, there was this beautiful goddess whose realm is the earth and farms. Her name is Athena. Now she was a very great weaver, and it was her who weaved the robes for Zeus and dyed it with the colors of the rainbow and the sunset. but she was a very jealous goddess. Among the mortals. there was a girl named Aranche and she was beautiful and very skillful with weaving as well. She even boasted that she is a better weaver than the goddess Athena! Athena was very furious and wanted to kill her. In the end, the story goes that the two of them Athena and Aranche would have a competition and if Aranche won, Athena would spare her life but if she lost, Athena would kill her. Aranche lost. When she saw the beauty of what Athena the goddess weaved, using the clouds as the finest strings in the world and dyed it with the sunset and the rainbows, Aranche went silently to a tree and hanged herself. Athena looked upon her, and touched her body. It began to turn black and shrink rapidly and her eyes bulged out further. Four more legs grew from her body. Athen then touched the string which she had used to hang herself, and it became thinner and thinner, until finally it was a single silky strand. Aranche is a spider now, free to weave without rivalry. Thus, the word Aranchnids is used to class spiders and scorpions and thier relatives.
