Arachne!!!!

You know the drill, more Greek stories :P. Arachne was a mortal yet eminent woman in Greek mythology, she was born to Idmon of Colophon, who was a famous dyer, and his wife. She was a weaver who’s skill could rival the gods themselves, which she believed. In her eyes, she could usurp the title of the Goddess of weaving, which is what she wanted to surmount. She challenged Athena, the goddess of war, handicraft, and practical reason, to a test to see who weaves better and who could pilfer the title of best weaver. They both got to weaving straight away. Athena fabricated a scene that had some semblance to events in which mortals have foolishly challenged the gods to contests four different times. Arachne weaved a scene that depicted the ways how the gods have mistreated and got into altercations with mortals. Athena was furious that Arachne had mocked/ condone mocking the gods in this way and had woven it more beautifully than her own. An irate Athena made a rift in Arachne’s tapestry then ripped it up which caused Arachne to hang herself out of shame. After this Athena, with pity, sprinkled her with juice from Hecate’s herb. Archne’s hair then fell out and she shrunk. Her slender fingers became stuck to her sides as legs. Athena transformed her into a spider so even after death she can continue weaving beautiful tapestries.
