Myth:

Arachne was the daughter of Idmon of Colophon, a dyer who dyed wool with Tyrian purple. She was famous in Hipepa (Lydia), where she had her workshop, for her extraordinary skill in weaving and embroidery.

The praises she received ended up going to the head of the young woman, who became so smug about her skill as a weaver that she began to claim that her skills were superior to those of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war as well as crafts. The goddess was angry, she gave the young Arachne a chance to redeem herself. Taking the form of an old woman, she warned Arachne not to offend the gods. The mortal scoffed and proposed a weaving contest in which she could prove her superiority. Athena took off her costume and the contest began.

Athena wove the scene of her victory over Poseidon, which inspired the citizens of Athens to name the city after her. According to Ovid's Latin account, Arachne's tapestry represented twenty-two episodes of infidelities of the gods disguised as animals: Zeus being unfaithful to Hera with Leda, with Europa, with Danae and with others.

Athena admitted that the young woman's craftsmanship was perfect, but was greatly annoyed by the disrespectful choice of motif.
Finally losing her temper, the goddess destroyed the tapestry and Arachne's loom by hitting them with her shuttle, and also struck at head to the young woman. Arachne, who saw her foolishness, was overwhelmed by shame, fled and ended up hanging herself.

In Ovid's account, Athena took pity on Arachne. She doused the rope with aconite juice, causing it to turn into a web and transforming Arachne herself into a spider.

History suggests that the art of weaving had its origin in the imitation of the work of spiders and that it had been developed in Asia Minor.
