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.

No, Athena abused her power as a god and proved Arachne's point that gods are immoral, unjust, and abusive over their power. Athena accepted Arachne's offer to see who's the best weaver. Arachne won fair and square however, Athena did not like that and cursed Arachne out of spite.

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!

Athena is the better weaver, but only because she is a god. If Athena had been mortal, (human), Arachne would have probably won the weave-off that the two had.
