  14. Interesting Mortal Interaction • The mortal Arachne was a great weaver who boasted that her skill was greater than that of Athena, goddess of wisdom, weaving, and strategy. When Arachnerefused to acknowledge that her skill comes, in part at least, from the goddess, Athena took offense and set up a contest between them.

  15. Love Interests • She never married, and she never had a lover, and subsequently she had no blood children. However she did have a child she treated as her own. Once, Hephaestus, God of smithing, attempted to rape Athena; however, he was unsuccessful, as she was able to evade him. Instead, his seed fell upon the Earth and impregnated Gaia. From the impregnation was born Erechtheus. Athena found Erechtheus and treated him as her own child nurturing him.
