Once upon a time, Arachne (we sorta feel bad for her but if you know Heroes it Olympus !spoiler alert! She is the reason Annabeth and Percy fell into Tartarus and probably traumatized them for life so not really she deserves it if we're talking about the HOO universe) was a famous weaver back in the day in Ancient Greece.
Many people watched her weave daily and she bragged that she was better at weaving than Athena (we still don't like her that much at all)
Athena was like "Nuh uh am I gonna let that happen, hold my hoops, Artemis," and she came to Arachne, while she was weaving one day as an old womanAnd she was like "Homie, you best stop grilling on Athena," and Arachne was like "You're an old lady go away," so Athena appeared to her in her goddess form and challenged her to a weaving challenge, to which Arachne was too scared to refuse, seeing as there was a large crowd. Athena
(Sorry it's a bad picture, I know) Athena weaved a picture about how great the gods were and Arachne weaved a picture at how lazy the gods were. At the end of the day, Arachne won. Athena, being a sore looser, was upset and did the most logical thing and turned Arachne into a spider. Ew. Ew. I hate spiders so much.
(Yes, I did use a picture from Riordan Wiki, stop judging me)
And Arachne was a spider forever. Her children were forced to go after Athena's demigod children, if your a Percy Jackson fan. We all know why the HOO fandom hates her. The end.
