I'd find it so funny if the game took Arachne's origin; A Roman story and not actual Greek myth and played with it. That she somehow still exists in Greece mythos despite the case, and when Athena is asked why she was so petty towards Arachne, she just goes: "Who?"
I hope there's a payoff where we can help Arachne in some way now that the story's acknowledging more of the terrible things that the gods have done to mortals.
@@ethanduncan1646 its plausible she knew the world needed spiders in it, which is why she punished her in such a cruel way, after all she is the god of wisdom.
There are versions of arachne just suiciding by the shame of being so arrogant. And Athena who takes pity on her revives her as a spider to do the one thing she loved. So there is a chance that Athena isn't collosal duchebag in this game.
The comment from Hecate about Arachne and Athena needing to settle things between themselves on their own makes me hope she'll be added later in development (maybe alongside her brothers Ares and Dionysus?). Maybe they could be added after you beat Chronos once like how Demeter one shows up after beating Hades the first time.
The goddess Athena created the art of weaving, but the mortal Arachne out-did her, her works rivaling the beauty of the gods themselves. She beat Athena in a competition for who could make the most dazzling tapestry, so (with all the grace of a god) Athena beat her senseless and drove her to hanging. She was reborn as a spider, still able to weave, but unable to reach her former heights.
@@scruffmutt depending on the story. Pretty sure Greek religion didn’t believe in rebirth and as such Athena transformed her directly. There’s also another story where Arachne’s sin was being egotistical. Athena had no problem of her being better until Arachne bragged about it. As such, Athena turned her into a spider for her insolence.
@@TheTsugnawmi2010 That's only in Ovid's versions, a Roman who had a problem with autority and despised Olympian Gods (they preferred their Roman gods). In most cases, Medusa was born a gorgon. Also there's a version where Arachne was punished because of incest.
. . . BUT SHE WAS THO, they were just salty and either way, just cuz someone calls u a poopy butt head whos bad at something doesn't mean u TURN THEM INTO A SPIDER FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE don't do mah gurl dirty lol
@@katgames101 There's many different versions of how the competition went. Some of them (mostly attributed to Ovid) had Arachne win. Most others had her lose and be a brat about it. Older versions had it that Athena turning her into a spider had nothing to do with the outcome of the competition, but rather the "content" of the tapestry that Arachne made for it.
@@thundercrash4775aye. I’m think there’s a version with her being an actual priestess of Athena too… and she had an affair in her temple with Poseidon or something.
Arachne being confident in her abilities that she claims herself above athena, yet acquiescing that the Fates will always have her beat? 10000/10, AMAZING ASS WRITING INDEED
Arachne: "so next time you talk to Athena, sis, be sure to tell her I'd still best her in a weaving contest with 7 pedipalps tied behind my abdomen ok?"
@@Benshavit493 yes , when still human , she was a skilled weaver/artist who challenged Athena, yes Athena did not like it and after beating her. She was revived from death as a spider monster, in that form she was very scary.
"I may be a better weaver than all the gods combined" Yeesh, that form of yours is supposed to be a punishment for your hubris. How did it _embolden_ you?
Hubris (/ˈhjuːbrɪs/; from Ancient Greek ὕβρις (húbris) 'pride, insolence, outrage'), or less frequently hybris (/ˈhaɪbrɪs/),[1] describes a personality quality of extreme or excessive pride[2] or dangerous overconfidence and complacency,[3] often in combination with (or synonymous with) arrogance.[4] Arache: Overconfidence and complacency? I said i was the best and proofed it. So neither of these points are valid. So there was no excessive pride. I know what i can and i am not ashemd of saying it.
