What is a good report on the story of Arachne and Athena?
I'm studying Athena and I think this is Good: Arachne was a mortal who was an amazing weaver. She once told an old woman that she thought she was a better weaver than the goddess of weaving, Athena, herself. When Athena heard about what Arachne said, she became extremely angry. Athena came to Arachne in the form of an old woman, and warned her not to compare herself to the great goddess Athena. Arachne continued to believe she was the better weaver. Athena then challenged Arachne to a weaving contest, and of course she accepted. Athena weaved a tapestry showing Mount Olympus. Arachne's tapestry consisted of the twelve major gods. Arachne's tapestry was chosen as the best. Athena, in her rage, destroyed Arachne's tapestry, and turned Arachne into the world's first spider, and the treads of the tapestry into spider silk.

What is one interesting story about Athena?
My personal favorite story about Athena would be the story of Arachne. Arachne was an incredibly gifted weaver and thought she was better than Athena, the patron goddess of weaving. So, Athena came and challenged her to a weaving battle as an old woman. When the challenge started Athena revealed herself and both made flawless pieces. Athena was angry at Arachne because of the skill displayed and touched Arachne's head and she felt full guilt. Arachne then killed herself. Athena felt bad about this and brought Arachne back as spiders and so her skill would live on forever in spiders.
