Chapter 20: Arachne

She was an excellent weaver but she wasn't satisfied about being the best mortal weaver. She thought she was a better weaver than any other god. She had too much pride and let her emotions control her actions which brought destruction upon herself. Her ability as a weaver had earned fame among her neighbors and other countries. Her work was so good that nymphs often left other thing just to admire her work. Everyone thought that only Athena could have taught Arachne to be a skillful weaver, but she always denied that she had ever received help from the goddess. Arachne decided to battle Athena at a weaving contest and if she lost she would accept whatever punishment or shame Athena chose to put on her. Athena got mad and decided to punish Arachne. She disguised herself as an old lady and told Arachne to apologize to Athena.
