In the myth, the reason she was cursed wasn't that she was better, it was because she depicted something that was intended to decry the gods on purpose. Zeus in various forms forcing himself on women, the failures of the gods in many ways, etc. Then, when Athena (Virgin Goddess, daughter of Zeus) rightfully said 'GROSS, THAT'S MY FATHER, WTH' Arachne was so upset that she didn't like it that she was about to hang herself, and so Athena 'saved' her by bonking her with a weaving spool and turning her into a spider. Basically, it was a 'Know your audience, Arachne' situation. And a 'Don't claim you're better than a god when it's very likely that your ability is a GIFT from said god in the first place' story.
That pride is the reason why she got her ass beat. With a loom.
Well this is going to be quite the interesting quest when we finally get it.
As in I’m assuming that we will get a quest related to Arachne and Athena eventually.
I don’t know how SGG will/would tackle it.
Like I said it’s going to be interesting.

To be fair. She weaved a god father cheating and having intercourse to a god who want nothing to do with it? What did she think will happened?
Arachne vs. Athena round 2.
