Arachne cames from the greek word meaning spider. In Greco-Roman mythology, Arachne was a great mortal weaver who boasted that her skill was greater than that of Athena, goddess of wisdom, weaving, and strategy. When Athena saw the girl's tapestry which ridiculed the gods she turned the poor girl into a spider after destroying her tapestry.
Athena was a very wise goddess ands so she obviously disliked dumbness and stupidity. She was superiror to a majority of gods and goddesses so it is imaginable that she would dislike other people taking command of her wisdom and knowledge. Beauty means nothings to her, for knowledge is the most mistifying beauty on Earth. Athena dislikes people who challenge her greatness. A good example of such is mortal would be Archne, who Athena turns into a spider.
