Why does Arachne refuse to accept the advice of the old woman?

Arachne refuses to accept the advice of the old woman because she is overly confident in her own skills as a weaver and believes that her talent surpasses that of the gods, particularly Athena.

This defiance ultimately leads her to challenge Athena to a weaving contest, showcasing her hubris and disregard for the divine.


Why is Odysseus hesitant to accept Athena help?

Odysseus is hesitant to accept Athena's help because he feels a deep sense of pride and responsibility as a leader. He believes he must rely on his own wits and abilities to navigate the challenges he faces, fearing that accepting assistance might undermine his identity as a hero. Additionally, he is wary of the consequences of divine intervention, having experienced both its benefits and pitfalls in his journey. This internal conflict reflects his complexity as a character, balancing human agency with the influence of the gods.


How did Athena God of War die?

Athena goddess of war and wisdom did not die. While Kratos stabs the Blade of Olympus into Zeus repeatedly, Athena tries to stop him. Kratos grew even angrier at Athena for trying to stop him. She didn't want to fight him, and in the struggle Zeus gets up and tries to flee, but Kratos sees him and rushes at him, but Athena throws herself in the way of the blow. Kratos, horrified, stops chasing Zeus to tend to her wounds. Kratos asks why she continues to protect Zeus. She states that she does it to protect Olympus and without Zeus, Olympus would fall. Also, the gods will protect Zeus to their death. She also reveals to Kratos that Zeus is his father. Kratos refuses to accept this and snaps going insane with rage and refusing to serve the gods, or back down, and he will kill all the gods. He stops to mourn Athena's death as she dies very similar to Ares, in a green explosion. http://godofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Athena
