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.
well i don't have paragraph, but what the whole thing is about is Arachne compared her self to Athena and Athena got super angry (you don't compare your self to the god's) so Athena tried to warn Arachne by coming to earth as an old woman and told her not to compare her self to Athena. but Arachne refused and the old woman turned into Athena and they had a competition on who could make the most beautiful quilt and when Athena was done she went to look at Arachne's quilt and it shows horrible things about the god's so Athena turned Arachne into a spider. so that's why thing's are now called arachnophobia arachnids and so on.
My personal favorite story about Athena would be the story of Arachne. Arachne was an incredibly gifted weaver and thought she was better than Athena, the patron goddess of weaving. So, Athena came and challenged her to a weaving battle as an old woman. When the challenge started Athena revealed herself and both made flawless pieces. Athena was angry at Arachne because of the skill displayed and touched Arachne's head and she felt full guilt. Arachne then killed herself. Athena felt bad about this and brought Arachne back as spiders and so her skill would live on forever in spiders.
arachne was a maiden who said she was better than Athena at weaving. In return of showing hubris, Athena turned her into a spide. Actually Arachne was a woman from Lydia who was taught weaving by Athena and thot she was to good to b tot from Athena so she denied being tauht by Athena, and the had a contest between Athena and arachne to c wo was the better weaver, neither won, but Athena destroyed arachnes weave and arachne was ashamed and hung herself and Athena felt bad so she saved her life but turned her into a spider.
She wasn't a greek god, just a mortal woman named Arachne with incredible weaving skills. She boasted that she was better than Athena, the goddess of the loom (and many other things). Athena herself came down to prove Arachne wrong. When Arachne was finished with her piece, Athena was actually kind of jealous. Naturally, she got angry and turned Arachne into the first spider. Ta-da!
Arachne was a mortal woman and talented weaver who challenged the godess Athena, and was transformed into a spider.
Actually, men are not "expected" to do the asking in this modern age. If a man decides to ask a woman on a date, the only expectation he is entitled to is that the woman either accept the invitation or refuse it graciously. He should also expect to accept her response graciously.

Arachne said she was a better weaver than even Athena, and challenged her.
She was a young woman who was transformed into a spider by Athena for challenging her to a weaving contest.
The setting of the story "Arachne" by Olivia Coolidge is ancient Greece. It takes place in a small village where a young woman named Arachne becomes known for her exceptional weaving skills and challenges the goddess Athena to a weaving contest.

Athena was in the form of an old woman as a disguise.
Yes, they do. They can choose whoever they wish to marry. They can also refuse anyone with whom they don't want to marry. It is all up to the woman: accept or refuse. Answer: The answer above is not quite correct. True, a woman can not be forced to marry someone she does not want to marry; but also a woman's parent or guardian (if she has never been married before) has the power to say 'no' to a man whom they see as not good for her.
