Arachne Part 1
Recently I have been watching a
lot of Greek and Roman myths. So I will be saying some of them with my thoughts
about them. As you know from the title, this will be about Arachne. Arachne was
a spinner, and a daughter of a trades man, who spent his days dyeing cloth. Arachne
had a flair for spinning the finest threads, weaving them into flowing fabric
and creating magnificent tapestries. People flocked to watch her hands flying across
her loom, as if thread sprung directly from her finger tips. But as praise from
her work grew, so did her pride Arachne was often heard boasting about her skills
declaring that her talent surpassed anyone else’s, mortal or god, she refused
to receive weaving as a gift from the gods and instead flaunted it as her own
personal genius. Unfortunately the god of wisdom and craft Athena, heard her
bragging. Planning to teach the ungrateful girl a lesson Athena disguised herself
as a old woman and went in the crowd. Want to know what happens next? Go to
part 2.
