Where was the myth of Arachne and Athena?

A girl called Arachne dared to say that she was better at weaving than Athena, the goddess of warriors, Athens, wisdom and the INVENTOR OF THE LOOM! She challenged Athena to a contest! This resulted in Athena turning Arachne into a spider, which the scientific term for spider (arachnid) comes from. From that day spiders have been weaving their webs, but none as good as Athena. Athena has also been known to be aggressive! A man saw her naked in a pool so she blinded him! But, later she felt sorry for him and let him see into the future! Not much good though if you can't see your dinner, is it?


How did Athena punish people?

She was generally a nice Goddess, rarely punishing anyone. However, she did lose her temper sometimes. There was Arachne, a weaver, and she claimed to weave better than Athena. They then had a "weave-off" and what Arachne weaved sort of made fun of the Gods. This made Athena mad, and Athena insulted her. Then, Arachne hung herself. After feeling very bad, Athena turned her into a spider so she could always weave. Once, Tiresias saw Athena naked after a bath, and she blinded him. However, she felt sorry for him, so she gave him the capability to see the future. So, you see, Athena gets mad, realizes it was a bit too much, and alters it a bit. There was also Medusa, who Athena turned into a monster because she was too proud and full of herself.
