The scientific name for spiders is "Arachnid"
(uh-rack-nid). 

The name originates in Greek mythology with an extraordinary weaver named Arachne
who, unfortunately, began to boast that her skill was greater than the goddess Athena’s who was, amongst many other responsibilities, the goddess of weaving. 

Athena was so angered by this claim that she punished Arachne by turning the woman into a spider whose love of weaving was undiminished.

Vineyards in White

Bleached straw paddocks
mingle with vineyards,
lush and green,
fruit ripening.

But here are hillsides
draped in white.
Could it be snow?
No. Arachne called
her busy helpers 
to weave
a protection of white.

Bacchus,
lurking in shadows,
gives a wink.
