Arachne
Arakhne, who was then changed into a spider by the goddess Athena.
The skilled weaver in ancient Greek Mythology was the goddess, Athena. Once, someone challenged Athena to a weaving contest. Athena got so mad that someone thought they were a better weaver than her, that she turned the girl into a spider, so that she would weave forever, but no one would want to come near her.
Arachne was a weaver who affended Athena. Athena changed Archne into a spider- the weaver of the insect world.
She is an expert weaver and great inventor, and she is extremely smart, being the goddess of wisdom and inventions.
The Parthenon was dedicated to the goddess Athena Parthenos (Athena the Virgin).
Arachne from which we get arachnid or spider.
The Greek name of the Greek goddess Athena is Athena. In Roman mythology the goddess Athena was associated with Minerva.
Athena was NOT a goddess of war, she was a goddess of wisdom
That Athena, a Greek goddess, is a goddess of war.
After the weaving contest the goddess Athena slashed Arachne's face and Arachne turned into a spider. Because of this Arachne is normally depicted as a scarred weaver or a spider.
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.
The goddess of wisdom was Athena.
