In the ** era of ancient Greece, Arekne was known for her extraordinary weaving skills. Her skillful hands are able to weave ordinary silk threads into brilliant chapters, creating beautiful fabrics that are rare in the world.
One day, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, took the form of an inconspicuous old woman and quietly came to Arekne's abode. She challenged Arekne in a competitive way to compete with each other in their weaving skills. Unflinched, Arekne manipulated the shuttle with agility and confidently created a beautiful robe.
When Athena saw Arekne's work, she felt jealousy. She critically pointed out minor flaws in Arekne's work, harshly criticizing them. Feeling unjustly accused, Arekne, driven by her anger, impulsively fights back against Athena.
Enraged, Athena restored the goddess's true form and used her divine powers to punish Arekne.
She turned Arekne into a spider, and since then, Arikne has been able to weave webs in spider web in the form of a spider.
Since then, Arekne has become the patron saint of spiders, while Athena is revered as a symbol of technology and intelligence. This story teaches us that jealousy and vanity lead to misfortune, and that true talent and skill will eventually be recognized.
In this story, Athena is jealous of Arecne's talent because of her excellent weaving skills, even surpassing Athena herself to some extent. Athena, the embodiment of wisdom and skill, possessed many talents and skills, but Arekne's weaving skills made her feel threatened, as Arekne's work was praised as even more beautiful than Athena's.
This jealousy embodies the humanized nature of the gods of ancient Greek mythology, who also possess emotions and desires, including jealousy and vanity. Athena's jealousy not only shows her imperfection as a god, but also adds an element of tension and conflict to the story.
