330   $aBoth fascinating and frightening, the spider has a rich symbolic presence in the imagination. At once a representative of death, due to its fangs and dangerous poison, the spider can also represent life and creation, because of its intricate web and females who carry sacs of thousands of tiny eggs.

From ancient Greek myth to Dostoyevsky, the authors explore the appearance of spiders in literature and their depictions in art, pay
