none of them. In fact she wasent a god at all, see its all started out like this..
there was a young lady named arachnid, she was the best at weaving in all of her village, everyone wanted what she made. Her friends were very jelous so they said that the god Athena {the goddes of wisdom} had taught arachnid herself. Instead of being honored, arachnid said that she would have Athena in a corner if she were to face her. An old woman with a cloak on came up and said these wise words "If you were smart, you would be begging for Athena to forget your words". Arachnid refused to apoligize, and all at once the old lady turned into the majestic Goddes Athena. Athena took up Arachnid's offer, they both did very well, so it came out to be a tie. Athena got very angry so she said the following "You! You shall be doomed to make tapestry forever! No one will want your tapestry's in their homes!". Arachnid keep shrinking until she became a meer spider, doomed to make webs forever.

This is a question of opinion, so there may be different views.
My view is that Arachne did not deserve her fate; there was no reason that she should be deprived of her humanity because goddess Pallas Athene did not like the idea that someone could weave as well as she could. Of course, the entire story is simply an explanation for where spiders come from prior to modern science.

What are the features of arachnid?
The features of an arachnid are its eight legs.
Arachnids are a class (Arachnida) of joint-legged invertebrate animals in the sub-phylum Chelicerata. All arachnids have eight legs, but some exceptions are of some species having the first pair legs convert to sensory function and harvest mite larvae have only 3 pairs of legs.
It is commonly understood that arachnids have four pairs of legs, and that arachnids may be easily distinguished from insects by this fact (insects have six legs or three pairs). Arachnids generally have a total of 6 pairs of appendages - two pairs of which have become adapted for feeding, defense, and sensory perception. The first pair of appendages, the chelicerae, serve in feeding and defense. The next pair of appendages, the pedipalps have been adapted for feeding, locomotion, and/or reproductive functions. In Solifugae , the palpi are quite leg-like and make Solifugae appear to have ten legs. The larvae of mites (and Ricinulei) have only six legs; the fourth pair appears when they moult into nymphs. However, there are also adult mites with six, or even four legs
