Arachnid Mythology

Arachne was a young woman that was an excellent weaver. She boasted that she could do better work even than Athena, the goddess of handicrafts (& wisdom, & hunting, etc.) Athena heard of this, and was offended. She paid Arachne a visit, and when the girl would not stop bragging about her skill, the goddess turned her into a spider, so she could spend all her time spinning.

The term arachnid is from the Greek word arachne, meaning "spider".

Arachne committed suicide and Athena took pity on her and brought her back to life as a spider (arachnid).
