The Contest of Athena and Arachne | A Tale from Greek Mythology
A mythic showdown unfolds in the ancient land of Lydia: Arachne, a girl whose skill in weaving surpasses all, faces off against a wrathful Athena, the goddess of artisan crafts herself. The boastful but extraordinary Arachne weaves a masterpiece that shakes the glory of Olympus -- and awakens the fury of an equally proud Athena. As Arachne deftly spins her threads, will she become trapped in a web of her own making?
A story from Greek mythology, based on Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book 6), featuring: Arachne, Athena
