Storyboard Description
Arachne was considered the best mortal weaver. When she is compared to the goddess Athena and she insists that she is even better than her, Athena disguises herself as an old woman to approach her. Arachne continues to express that Athena could challenge her, so Athena reveals herself. Silently, they each get a loom and begin to weave. It is very apparent that Athena's is better. Arachne is embarrassed, ready to hang herself, but Athena stops her, turning her into a spider so that she has to weave for the rest of eternity and remind man not to challenge the gods.
