Storyboard Description
As people are admiring Arachne's work, they state that Athena; the goddess of art must have taught her if she is that good. Arachne is upset that people think Athena taught her because she learned how to weave and spin wool on her own, so Arachne challenges Athena to a weaving contest. Athena shows up and the two weaver's competed; Athena wins. Athena then punishes Arachne for thinking she was better than her by turning her into the first spider but still allowing her to spin silk, because spiders spin webs.
