How did Athena punish people?
She was generally a nice Goddess, rarely punishing anyone. However, she did lose her temper sometimes. There was Arachne, a weaver, and she claimed to weave better than Athena. They then had a "weave-off" and what Arachne weaved sort of made fun of the Gods. This made Athena mad, and Athena insulted her. Then, Arachne hung herself. After feeling very bad, Athena turned her into a spider so she could always weave. Once, Tiresias saw Athena naked after a bath, and she blinded him. However, she felt sorry for him, so she gave him the capability to see the future. So, you see, Athena gets mad, realizes it was a bit too much, and alters it a bit. There was also Medusa, who Athena turned into a monster because she was too proud and full of herself.
