Arachne And Athena Drawing. She was a nymph once they saythe daughter of Idmon the dyer of Colophon a city of Lydia. See more ideas about painting mythology ovid.
She would weave day and night. One day she boasted about being a better weaver than Athena the goddess of wisdom. Arachne however was not so humble herself Forming the raw wool first into a ball or fingering the flock and drawing out again and yet again the fleecy cloud in long soft threads or twirling with her thumb her dainty thumb the slender spindle or embroidering the pattern--you would know Pallas Athena.

I am the best weaver but Athena has nothing to do with how good I am. Arachne Arachne was a mortal who loved to weave on her loom. Born to Idmon a famous dyer Arachne was no ordinary weaver and the very act of her weaving was sheer magic and a sight to behold. Athenas cloth was.
