Actually its a little known fact that the word 'thread' originated from greek mythology because the greek god Zeus had written a book on the subject and while they where at the printers awaiting delivery one of the workers asked who's pile of books they were, now writers always use a pseudonym, and he was told ------'Oh they are all Fred's' .
And we still use that actual book today -----incredible !!

I can email you a PDF of the 1976 copy if you can't find one.
Here's a direct link for downloading the pdf.
http://www.green-oval.com/data/zeus.pdf
It's a 16mb file but it's a good quality scanned copy. There are other versions out there, just search for 'zeus book pdf download'.
