I'm assuming you're inquiring as to how Arachne was conceited in the Greek myth, yes? Arachne was a beautiful, but very vain, young woman whose spinning and weaving skill was famous throughout the land. Her talent surpassed that of every mortal, and, as she recognized her own superiority, she was incredibly boastful about it--even going so far as to insult and challenge the goddess of weaving, crafts, and skill (Athena) herself. Her conceit carried over to the weaving contest she challenged Athena to, creating a tapestry that, while wondrously done, was a mocking work that depicted the all of the failings and fears of the gods. It was because of this blatant insolence that she lost and was forced to weave as a spider for eternity.

The word arachnid comes from the Greek legend of a beautiful lady who dared to compare her weaving skills to the goddes Athena. Her name was called Arachna. So Athena turned her into a spider! She lived in a cave and was defeated by Hercules.
Arachnids are related to mythology because a maid called Arachne was so proud of her abilities to weave that she challenged the goddess, Athena to a weaving competition. Arachne boasted that she would easily win. When Arachne lost to Athena, she hung herself in shame. Athena saw her do this so she turned the hanging rope into a web and turned Arachne into a arachnid so she can forever weave with her descendants.
