Arachne was not a name meant to be remembered. Another daughter to a poor shepherd, her only notable quality was her talent in weaving. Then Athena, the Goddess of weaving and the patron of heroes, recognized her talent and made the mortal an offer: become her protege, and be remembered as the greatest weaver in history.
This sapphic retelling of Book 6 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses follows the relationship between the Goddess of Weaving and her most famous challenger, marred by love, ambition, and pride.
