No; Arachne's crime was boasting herself better then the goddess Athena in the task of weaving. She did not believe that the goddess had "taught her" or given her the gift of weaving; all talents are god given to the ancient Greeks. She wanted to have contest with Athena - and when Athena in the form of a old matron warned against it, indeed would have forgiven her if she had given the goddess her due respect - Arachne forced Athena to act. She further slighted the gods by making her tapestry a mocking of them.

What is a good report on the story of Arachne and Athena?
I'm studying Athena and I think this is Good: Arachne was a mortal who was an amazing weaver. She once told an old woman that she thought she was a better weaver than the goddess of weaving, Athena, herself. When Athena heard about what Arachne said, she became extremely angry. Athena came to Arachne in the form of an old woman, and warned her not to compare herself to the great goddess Athena. Arachne continued to believe she was the better weaver. Athena then challenged Arachne to a weaving contest, and of course she accepted. Athena weaved a tapestry showing Mount Olympus. Arachne's tapestry consisted of the twelve major gods. Arachne's tapestry was chosen as the best. Athena, in her rage, destroyed Arachne's tapestry, and turned Arachne into the world's first spider, and the treads of the tapestry into spider silk.
What are details in the story that will prove that arachnes pride is the reason for her downfall?
Arachne's pride is evident in her refusal to acknowledge the gods, particularly Athena, as she boasts about her unparalleled weaving skills. This arrogance leads her to challenge Athena to a contest, believing she can surpass the goddess. When Arachne weaves a tapestry that depicts the gods' misdeeds, her hubris provokes Athena's wrath, ultimately resulting in her transformation into a spider as punishment for her insolence. Her downfall is thus directly linked to her excessive pride, which blinds her to the consequences of her actions.
