Textiles in mythology and folklore
Among the Olympians, the weaver goddess is Athena, who, despite her role, was bested by her acolyte Arachne, who was turned later into a weaving spider. The daughters of Minyas, Alcithoe, Leuconoe and their sister, defied Dionysus and honored Athena in their weaving instead of joining his festival. A woven peplum, laid upon the knees of the goddess's iconic image, was central to festivals honoring both Athena at Athens, and Hera.
Panara (comics)
A young woman, Ms. Dorsey, was diagnosed with an incurable disease. She sought the aid of a geneticist who specialized in radical cures for illnesses. He had trapped Catwoman, believing her to be a werecat, and thought she would have special DNA to use in Ms. Dorsey's cure, but found that she was a "mere human". Keeping Catwoman captive, he had his assistant bring him an leopard, and used its genetic code to alter Ms. Dorsey's physiology, in order to reverse her disease's symptoms, but it turned her into a humanoid leopard. Her personality now entirely animal, she killed her doctor and his assistant, and would have killed Catwoman, had she not outsmarted the killer cat creature. Ms. Dorsey escaped into the night.
