Passage 2
Arachne was a skilled weaver who created the most beautiful works of art with her loom. Her reputation spread far and wide, and people from all parts of the world would gather to watch her weave. Arachne was very proud of her skill and was greedy for more praise and attention. She began to boast that she was the best weaver in the whole world. When Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, heard this, she visited Arachne. Athena was a skilled weaver herself, but Arachne insulted the goddess by claiming to be even better at weaving than she was. Enraged, Athena challenged Arachne to a weaving competition. They both began to weave, and all those who were watching, marveled at the skill of both weavers. However, although Arachne's work was beautiful, it could not be compared to Athena's creation. Finally, as a punishment for her folly, Athena turned Arachne into a spider.
