they are having a weaving contest and the mortal arachnie insults the goddesses weaving skill and then she gets turned into a spider weaving for all eternity
This Greek Myth is a story when there was a woman named Arachni, who could weave beautiful cloth. People came from far and wide to admire her skills and praise her, so she became a bit arrogant. Soon, she began to boast that she was better than the gods, and Greek gods do not like it if someone thinks that they're better than them. The words floated up to Athena herself, the great goddess of wisdom and weaving. She was an amazing weaver herself. So one day, she disguised as an old woman that came down to earth and visited Arachni. She tried to warn the girl to not anger the gods and give her advice, but Arachni would not listen. Finally, Arachni challenged her to a weaving contest, and Athena showed her true form, but it did not bother Arachni. Athena wove such a beautiful olive tree on her cloth that the people thought that if they reached out, they could pick the olives. Next to the tree, she wove an angry Zeus with a lightning bolt to warn Arachni again not to anger the gods. Arachni did not notice, but weaved her own beautiful cloth. Angry that she was trying to humiliate the gods, Athena tore up Arachni's cloth, and in front of everyone, turned her into a spider! To the Greeks this explains why Spiders are such good weavers, and that is where we get our name, Arachnid, from.
