    Yeah, but isn’t that name passed down? It has been a while since I read Children of Time (haven’t read the rest of the series). I swear there are multiple spiders over the span of the plot that are given the name.

      I think it’s the name given by the author for the reader’s sake and not their “real” name. I think he says in the beginning, let’s call her portia . Their names are said in taps of their limbs. And are probably different for different portia over the history of the series. I may be mistaken.

          I read up to the second book. The third book is a little more philosophical for my taste. If you haven’t read the second i highly recommend it.
