Arachne was a weaver, held in the highest regard by both gods and mortals. But as more and more praise was heaped upon her, she became somewhat arrogant, even daring to challenge Minerva, the god of war and art, to a weaving contest. Minerva, disguised as an old woman, tried to warn Arachne about her behaviour, but the weaver remained unrepentant. Unable to change her mind, Minerva revealed her true identity and accepted Arachne’s challenge.
