Arachne
Ἀράχνη
A mortal who challenged Athena to a weaving contest.
So skilled she dared challenge Athena, she wove a tapestry depicting the gods' shameful deeds.
According to Ovid, her work was flawless — what enraged Athena was not the skill but the subject.
When her cloth was torn and she tried to hang herself, Athena turned her into a spider, spinning thread forever.
