Hi, I need references to weaving (or spinning) in the Iliad, both metaphorical and literal uses. And is there some consistent correlation between the metaphorical and literal uses of the word? And What symmbolic function does theis imagery serve within the context of the scene and in what ways is it suggestive of soem larger themes of the epic?

Hector's wife is weaving while Hector's dying...
It's a very sad story.
