The legend of Arachne was Greek, not Roman. She did not have a goddess who was her patron. She was challenged into a weaving contest by Athena because she claimed that her weaving skills were better than hers. This got Athena's annoyed. The Roman poet Ovid wrote a version of this Greek myth in which he used the name Pallas Athene, another Greek name for Athena. In his version, Arachne beat the goddess. Pallas Athene struck Arachne on the forehead three or four times. Arachne could not bear this and she hung herself.

Why is Arachne and Minerva a myth?
Though it is an atypical myth (in that it was purely Roman in origin, not Greek, and it did not serve as an etymological allegory), it is a myth because the people involved did not exist. Aside the fact that Minerva was a goddess, Archne was not a common name among Romans OR Greeks. In fact, the word arachne in ancient Greek simply means spider.As typical of Roman myths, this story has a moral, and serves to illustrate the origin of some natural occurrence (spiders building elaborate webs).
