	Arachne is a very ordinary girl but she is a brilliant weaver and thinks herself equal or greater than [[character::Minerva]], goddess of weaving. Minerva disguises herself as an old woman to try and and tries to dissuade her, telling Arache to say she inherited her skill from Minerva. She baulks at this idea and Minerva reveals herself and they get down to weaving two wonderful tapestries which are transformations in themselves. (Minerva) Gods transforming mortals into objects. Arachne's tapestry depicts gods as ''rapists'' or Gods turning people in to bulls. The competition is judged as a draw although Ovid describes Arachne's as the more exciting. Minerva hits Arachne with her shuttle three times. In sadness Arachne hangs herself and in pity Minerva turns her in to a spider. Is it to do with hubris, talent or ones ''lease'' on talent or the monstrosity of the Gods. In Metamorphosis no one interpretation is right. It is the story that is more important.
