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!

Spiders and scorpions are both types of "arachnids." Spiders are of the class Araneae.The class name Arachnida and order Araneae come from the Greek word for spider (aráchnē), based on a story from ancient Greek times.
