Greek mythology
 
Arachne was the daughter of Idmon of Colophon, a dyer who dyed wool with the purple of Tire. She lived in Hipepa, where she had her workshop. Her ability to knit and embroider was extraordinary, but the praise she received ended going up to the head of the young woman, to the point of affirming that her abilities were superior to those of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, and also of crafts. The goddess was angry, but gave the young Arachne a chance to redeem herself:
 
Athena assumed the form of an old woman and warned Arachne not to offend the gods. The mortal scoffed and proposed a weaving contest in which she could prove her superiority. Athena took off her disguise and the contest began. Athena wove the scene of her victory over Poseidon, which inspired the citizens of Athens to name the city in her honor. The Arachne tapestry, on the other hand, represented twenty-two episodes of infidelities of Zeus to Hera with Leda, Europa, Danae and others, in which he participated disguised as different animals. 
 

At first, Athena recognized that the young woman's dexterity had been perfect, but then she realized how disrespectful the subject she had chosen had been. Her anger led her to destroy the tapestry and turn Arachne into a spider.
 
The asteroid Arachne is related with the ability to direct resources and personal skills towards a positive and beneficial aim.

(164) Eva, self-organization and delimitation of mental schemes related with nutrition

(164) Eva is a main belt asteroid (middle zone I) discovered in July of 1876.

It has a perihelion of 1.72 AU and an aphelion of 3.54 AU. The semimajor axis is at 2.63 AU. It has an orbital period of 4 years and 99 days. It has an inclination of  24.5º (quincile 24º, 0º28' orb).
It has a diameter of about 105 km.

Photometric observations were carry out in the years 1982 and 2008.

A stellar occultation ocurred in the year 2000.

Orbital resonance:
25:9 with Jupiter (%100.0)
11:25 with Mars (99.9)
-
14:13 with Ceres (99.9)
5:4 with Interamnia (99.9)
13:12 with Herculina (99.8)
14:11 with Europa (99.8)

 

Biblical story

Adam and Eve, the first man and the first woman after creation, lived completely naked in the Garden of Eden, eating from any tree, except the one that contained the forbidden fruit.

Until one day, the serpent (symbolizing sexual friction, moving around the trunk of the tree), convinced Eve to try the forbidden fruit (a fig, symbol of the female sex; or an apple, in more recent versions) and then she offered it to Adam, which caused a direct association between stimuli and sexual responses.

The expulsion of Adam and Eve from paradise, entailed the need to cover the opposite sex with a fig leaf to block the activation of the sexual response.

The asteroid Eva is related with self-organization of mental schemes related with the nutrition of the main belt, such as food diet and personal hygiene, physical exercise and sleep, sex and relationships, or leisure and work. The process starts from a key thought, emotion or event that causes a chain reaction that leads to a new approach with different delimitations (5:4 resonance with Interamnia).

Historical character

Hypatia (370-415 AD) was a philosopher, astronomer and mathematician who lived in Alexandria (Egypt), then part of the Eastern Roman Empire. He worked at the Museum, a kind of university of her time, and also taught philosophy and astronomy at her home to a large group of students, among whom there were also some Christians.

Hypatia was recognized in life as a great teacher and wise counselor. At present, it is believed that she could have edited the text of Ptolemy's "Almagest" and possibly co-written some of the commentaries attributed to her father (Theon of Alexandria). 

(238) Hypatia is related with the specifically individual academic style, while taking notes, making summaries and diagrams (students); and with the changes and annual updates of manuals or textbooks (teachers) (13:15 resonance with Eunomia).

Norse mythology

Frigg, Odin's wife, was the queen of heaven. Only she, apart from Odin, had the right to sit on the throne Hliðskjálf, to contemplate the nine worlds. She had the gift of prophecy, although she never revealed what she knew.

After Baldr, one of his sons, began to have prophetic dreams about his own death, Frigg traveled the world asking all things to swear not to harm Baldr. To the extent that the other gods made fun throwing things at him, knowing that nothing could harm him.

But Loki proposed to find out if she had forgotten to take an oath to something. She became a woman and asked her. Frigg admitted that she had considered the mistletoe too young to take an oath. Loki then prepared a mistletoe dart and gave it to Höðr, Frigg's other son. Since he was blind, he had not participated in the game of throwing things at Baldr, but Loki offered to guide him, helping him to launch him, killing him.

Odin sent his son, Hermóðr, to negotiate Baldr's return from the underworld with Hel, daughter of Loki and goddess of the dead. She established as a condition that all things, in each of the nine worlds, wept for him. Frigg and Odin joined forces urging, one by one, all things; but Loki hid in a cave in the form of an old giantess, who did not cry, preventing Baldr's return.

The asteroid Frigga is related with the process of finding commitment with the right nourish source (flat, job, partner, ...), examining, one by one, all possible options.

Greek mythology

Amphitrite was a goddess of the sea, salt water and springs of highly mineralized waters. She was the personification of the calm and sunlit aspect of the sea.

The god Poseidon wanted to marry Amphitrite, but she was in great awe of her distinguished suitor, and with grace and celerity, she managed to glide out of his sight, and hid from him in the Atlantic Ocean. The grieving Poseidon sent a dolphin to look for her and persuade the fair nymph to come back and share his throne. Amphitrite agreed to marry Poseidon and the King of the Deep was so overjoyed at these good tidings that the dolphin was awarded a place in the heavens, where he now forms a well known constellation Delphinus (the Dolphin). (Wikipedia)

The asteroid Amphitrite is related with the evaluation phase of a relationship, in which it is decided whether to start the relationship after a first encounter; or, strengthen it if it was on a superficial level.
