Athena’s Story • Athena was born out of Zeus’ head when he swallowed Metis. • Arachne was one of Athena’s pupils • Arachne was a beautiful weaver, and challenged Athena to a weaving contest • Athena and Arachne competed, but in Arachne’s tapestry she made fun of all of Zeus’s wives. • Athena turned Arachne into a spider, so came arachnophobia http://ushistoryimages.com/jamestown-colony.shtm
