By Group Boardinghouse Arachne and Athena By Group Boardinghouse

The Myth: Arachne is a renowned weaver in her town of Lydia, capable of weaving heartbreakingly beautiful tapestries Those in awe of her works suggest that the goddess of weaving, Athena, trained her. This insults Arachne, who believes that not even a god can surpass her talent

Arachne challenges the goddess to a weaving contest, promising to submit to the punishment of Athena’s choice if she loses. Athena weaves a tapestry depicting her defeat of the god Poseidon, while Arachne shows various salacious scenes of the god Zeus, Athena’s father Athena admits that her competitor's tapestry is flawless, yet is still outraged by her presumptuousness and disrespect. Athena touches Arachne on the forehead, filling her with guilt and causing the mortal to hang herself.

Taking pity on the foolish mortal, Athena resurrects her in the form of a spider, destining Arachne and her descendents for forever weave beautiful webs. THE MORAL: Don’t offend the gods, and never let mortal ego overwhelm you.

Allusions Etymology: The suffix “Arach-” indicating spider i.e. Arachnid, Arachnophobia Web Browser Arachne: suggests extreme skill or proficiency

Charlotte’s Web features a kind spider who weaves messages into her web to convince a farmer not to kill his pig.
