Athene & Arachne
Bowledover left me this as a comment for the last picture. I thought it was so beautiful it needed to be posted. A brief of:
'Arachne' By Megan Powell
Athene challenged Arachne to a contest to see who could weave the best, following Arachne's boasts about her skills as a weaver.
The people would judge the finer work of the two.
Athene wove using the clouds,while Arachne used the finest yarn.
Arachne did not win and her life was changed from that of a young girl to that of a spider, which many of are called Arachnids.

ReplyDeleteAh you mean Arachne's son! Well Arachne's son, appalled by the fate of his mother, took up her new guise as a secret identity, weaving for himself from her efforts a suit of web (not dissimilar to certain bread wrappers of modern times)and became a super hero, protecting lesser mortals from the gods wrath as Spiderman.
