The symbol of the spider maintains its relevance as a component part of the symbol of communication in the 21st century, being under the www (World Wide Web) sign. The internet network has as its functional prototype the spider. It is the meaning of information transmission networks. I researched the symbol of the spider and its connotations in antiquity, in the lyrics of several Romanian writers: Lucian Blaga, Leonida Lari, Ion Hadârcă. I have tinted the image in cinematography. The article contains concepts from different fields: psychology, mythology, cinematography, philosophy, Romanian literature and comparative literature.
