A Story

This story is set in the olden Greek times.

Once in the old days there was a young woman called Arachne and she was an excellent weaver. She often boasted about her skills and even the gods were impressed with her weaving. So people started to say that she might even be much better than Athena The goddess herself.

Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom had a special and well known talent for art especially weaving. She couldn't bear to be beaten by a mortal so went in for a challenge. She dressed as a an old woman and went to the weaver's house and challenged her to a weaving competition.

Athena's quilt was beautifully done displaying the beauty of Greek gods and goddesses.  

But Arachne's quilt was done showing the Greek Gods and Goddess's flaws but better woven and more interesting than Athena's.

Athena was furious and destroyed the tapestry. Then she turned Arachne into a spider cursed to weave for eternity and that is the Greek tale for how spiders were created.
