    The Fateful Contest

    The document summarizes the Greek myth of Arachne and Athena. It describes how Arachne was a talented weaver who boasted that her skills were self-taught, challenging the goddess Athena to a weaving contest. Though both wove beautifully, Arachne wove a depiction that insulted the gods, angering Athena. As punishment, Athena destroyed Arachne's tapestry and caused her to hang herself out of shame. Taking pity, Athena revived Arachne but turned her into the first spider as further punishment, so she may hang forever by her webs. The myth highlights the themes of pride, greed, envy, and boastfulness.
