In Greek mythology (and later Roman mythology), Arachne (/əˈrækniː/; from Greek: ἀράχνη "spider", cognate with Latin araneus) was a talented mortal weaver who challenged Athena, goddess of wisdom and crafts, to a weaving contest; this hubris resulted in her being transformed into a spider.

Answer:

The myth Of Arachne describes the story of Arachne who was a weaver by profession and challenged Athena, the Goddess of wisdom and craft for a weaving competition. It was seen as a symbol of overconfidence and arrogance which resulted in her transformation into a spider. This story represents the norms prevalent in the society where no one was expected to defy the social norms or challenge the Gods.
