The legend of Arachne was Greek, not Roman. She did not have a goddess who was her patron. She was challenged into a weaving contest by Athena because she claimed that her weaving skills were better than hers. This got Athena's annoyed. The Roman poet Ovid wrote a version of this Greek myth in which he used the name Pallas Athene, another Greek name for Athena. In his version, Arachne beat the goddess. Pallas Athene struck Arachne on the forehead three or four times. Arachne could not bear this and she hung herself. Pallas Athene brought her back to life, but, as a punishment, transformed her into a spider so that she and her descendants could spin spider webs.

The Roman equivalent of Athena was Minerva.
