Well, Arachne, it's true you were a fool, but live on as the second best weaver in all the world!

That was one of my favorite stories as a kid...

Arachne, it`s not wise to compete to a goddess, a daughter of Zeus, (it`s Athene, Minerva was Roman goddess)....
And I think it was the mockery of her work towards Gods that enraged Palada...
