Detailed explanation-1: -When Athena revealed herself in celestial splendour, Arachne was undismayed. She prepared for the contest between herself and angry Athena, which-quite literally-‘loom’ed before her. Athena ‘wrought on her web’ the climax of her conflict with the sea god Poseidon.
Detailed explanation-2: -Arachne is a very skilled weaver, so proud of her work that she sets up a weaving contest with Athena, goddess of the art of weaving. She first tries to dissuade the girl but then agrees to compete in the creation of the most beautiful tapestry.
Detailed explanation-3: -So Athena tore up Arachne’s beautiful work and struck her down. Arachne was so downcast by this, that she hanged herself. Athena was vindictive, and refused to give Arachne peace in death. So she turned the dead girl into a spider, so that she would be doomed to weave and spin for all time.
