The Return

For Arachne's return, she can't hear or talk so she can't live as a regular human and interact. Because she's a spider, she begins a new life where she no longer weaves from a loom she just hangs from a thread and starts weaving.

Arachne is considered the mother of all spiders according to Greek mythology, this is why we have spiders all over the world.

Main Character

  • Arachne - She is a talented young girl who has fair skin and long dark hair. All she cared about was weaving in the sun from morn to noon and then in the shade from noon to night.

The Story of Arachne

The Judging

In most of them, the competition is over and Arachne's work is judged at by gods and goddesses together on Mount Olympus.The judges of the competition loved the work Athena had done. Athena got really angry because Arachne had woven a peice making fun of the gods and goddesses.

Athena destroys Arachne's loom and then taps her forehead making her feel really guilty and depressed. After this, Arachne felt so ashamed that she hangs her self on a tree. Then Athena feels guilty for her actions and revives Arachne as a spider.

The Challenge

Arachne was very proud of her work and sometimes very arrogant and thinks that she is the best spinner in all of Greece, even better than Athena.Athena, disguised as an old woman, approaches Arachne and warns her to respect the gods, not defile them. Archne insults the old woman and says that she could probably teach Athena a thing or two about weaving.

Later, Athena, in her true form, approaches Arachne. In a tone of anger, Athena challenges Arachne to a contest that would determine which of them was really the better weaver.

The Competition

Arachne accepts Athena's challenge. After accepting, Athena states the details of the competition.

If Arachne lost the competition, she was to accept any punishment that Athena saw fit to give her. If she won, then Athena agreed to never use spindle or loom again.
