Who is archane in Greek mythogoly?

Do you mean Arachne? If so, she was a weaver of spectacular skill whose vanity cost her life. She boasted publicly that she was more skilled at the loom than even Minerva, who was the patron of the art. Upset by this, Minerva made her presence known and challenged the girl to a contest. And while Arachne's weaving was sublime, Athena's was divine and all declared her easily the winner. Arachne, in shame, tried to commit suicide by hanging herself, but Minerva would not have it, instead changing the girl into a spider, doomed forever to spin webs and dangle precariously.
