When Arachne arrived, a tired Phobis asked her to take on the role of Master Weaver, to be the main one to weave the Web of Life.Īrachne accepted, relieving the ancient goddess of her position so that she might expand her abilities and purpose. The Great Spirit heard her, and the five deities of the Loomworld welcomed her as the sixth. In saving her she showed mercy, but it came with a price Arachne was immortal, cursed to weave forever while being a hideous mixture of woman and arachnid.Īshamed of her appearance and having disgraced herself to the gods, Arachne left home and prayed to a higher entity. Shockingly, Arachne's tapestry work was admired and loved by Athena, but the subject matter which Arachne had depicted was deeply insulting.Īngered, Athena tore the tapestry, condemning the mortal for her disrespect.ĭistraught, and seeing her behavior as so offensive to the goddess she had admired, Arachne attempted to hang herself.īut Athena, out of pity, stopped Arachne, turning her noose to a silk thread, and the woman's body to that of a spider. She challenged the goddess to a competition. I do not own Marvel or the gods depicted in cultural stories.Ī great weaver, Arachne was prideful, boasting that she could out-weave Athena herself.
