The myth is that there was a woman who weaved beautiful things and when she claimed that she could weave better than the goddess Athena (she's the goddess of wisdom and she was the best weaver she also created the loom). Athena heard this and got very angry so she went to Aracnhne and told her she was going to kill her because of what she said. Arachne said that before she died, to be allowed to give her a present. She gave her a cloak and said that it surely is better than anything Athena had. Athena then grew pity for Arachne and said that if she thought she was such a good weaver then to challenge Athena and they would create a quilt and the town would vote which they liked best. If Arachne won then she wouldn't die but if she lost it is her life. When the day of the contest came Athena and Arachne both weaved beautiful quilts but Athena's was better. Instead of killing Arachne though she turned her into a spider so she would we able to continue weaving but instead of tapestries and quilts and such, spider webs.
