"The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance."

Arachne was a great weaver whose skill was unmatched ... but she knew that.
When Athena warned her to sit down and be humble, Arachne demanded a contest. Both wove masterpieces, of course - Athena’s tapestry depicted the fate of those who defy the gods, while Arachne created an image of Athena walking with a man, she is looking at him in shock as he turns his head to ogle Arachne who had just passed.
I'm guessing, of course, because Athena shredded the tapestry in a rage and cursed Arachne to weave forever - as the first spider.
The spider design is from the Isopresso collection, minus the big googly eyes that I didn't think fit with the transformation from beautiful woman ...
