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.
