People from all over praise Arachne for her bright and soft cloth she has woven at her loom.
Goddess Athena gets angry with Arachne when she boasts proudly that she can spin and weave better than the Goddess herself. She asks Zeus to decide who is better than the other in a test . It was decided that whoever looses has to stop spinning and weaving forever.
Zeus declares Athena as the winner!
Arachne realizes her fault after the defeat. Athena touches the tip of her spear on Arachne and magically turns her into a spider so that she can continue to spin and weave. So it is said that's how spiders came to spin webs.
