Detailed explanation-1: -Arachne, (Greek: “Spider”) in Greek mythology, the daughter of Idmon of Colophon in Lydia, a dyer in purple. Arachne was a weaver who acquired such skill in her art that she ventured to challenge Athena, goddess of war, handicraft, and practical reason.
Detailed explanation-2: -Typically, Arachne, the great weaver, is caught boasting that she could teach Athena, the goddess, herself, how to weave, but then fails to excel in her craft. The punishment is that she may never touch a loom and weave again.
Detailed explanation-3: -One day, an old woman walked past Arachne weaving on her loom and asked her, “Who taught you to weave so well?” Arachne replied that she had taught herself, and that she was the best spinner and weaver in the world.
