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.
