    In Greek mythology,Arachne was a commoner who boasted that his weaving skills surpassed those of the goddess Athena,When Athena saw that her work was indeed beyond her and ungodly, she became angry and turned her into a spider, punishing her for spinning forever. Ancient Greek anatomists discovered that the inner layer of the meninges looked like a spider's web and named it arachnoid.

    Pituitary Gland

    The ancient Greeks believed snot came from the brain (as in traditional Chinese medicine) , while the ancient Greek word for snot was pituita (phlegm, thick phlegm) . They dissected and found a small, clear structure in the center of the brain near the top of the sinus, which they thought was the source of the mucus, called pituita. This is where the English name pituinary gland comes from.
