Arachnefan#1:: "OK, so weren't all that good, but at least she wasn't a a bad sport!

ATHENAROCKS: Yes she was! She started mocking the gods like "Im am better than the gods! Blah Blah Blah!"

Arachnefan#1:" ARRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Runs at her, waving her arms like crazy* ATHENA WAS ALL THE WORDS MY MOMMY SAYS I CAN'T SAY! SHE WAS A BAD SPORT!!!!!!!! 
( >.<  )

ATHENAROCKS: That is a very colourful vocabulary you have there Arachnefan#1:. I COULD SAY THE SAME THING TO ARACHNE!!!!!!!

Arachnefan#1: *Throws a punch at her* FOOOOOOOOOR ARACHNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!  

ATHENAROCKS: IT JUST GOT REAL! FOR ATHENA!!! *Throws punch back at Arachnefan#1

Arachnefan#1:: Wait- why do we care? Its just a myth!

ATHENAROCKS: I don't know, but I just want to put my point out in the world, that Athena is better.

Arachnefan#1:: IT JUST GOT REALLY REAL!

Our thoughts 1

Arachnefan#1: I am soooooooooo MAD at Athena! She was such a bad sport!

ATHENAROCKS: She has rights though. I mean, she is a goddess!

Arachnefan#1 AND I HAVE RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH!!!!!! ( I don't know why I just said that :3)

ATHENAROCKS: But the point is not about you! Your off topic! We are talking about Arachne and Athena. Athena had rights to turn Arachne into a spider

Arachnefan#1: Arachne was a preeeeetty spider(O.O)

ATHENAROCKS: Arachne was stupid. She was all like "Hey goddess, lets have a battle, I think im better than you!"

Arachnefan#1: AND, I think that Atheeeeeeeeena *Says in a mocking tone* was a bad sport! Its like" OMG's, I lost! Now, I'll turn you into a spider! (And, in the Percy Jackson series  she goes crazy AND tries to kill him!!)

ATHENAROCKS: Ya and Arachne *Also says in a mocking tone* starts mocking the gods!
(go to da next post to see how this ends!)

2nd story!

2nd Story!

Arachne was spinning a tapestry, and everyone was coming to watch her. And then people started talking about how Athena must of have taught her. And then Arachne said, "No! Athena didn't teach me! I'm way better that Athena!" Athena heard this and came down as an old lady and said, "Even if you are talented, it does not mean you are worthy of the gods." Arachne scoffed and said:"I can take on the gods anytime!"

Enraged, Athena turned herself into her true form and they started a weaving contest. When Athena saw how good she was, how proud,she turned all that pride into guilt. It was unbearable, and Arachne tried to to end her life. Athena, saddened by her actions, gave her life again as a spider, and all of her children, and there children, and so on, were also spiders.

1st story!

POST UNO!

Arachne was a maiden who came from Greece. She was neither well born or beautiful  and didn't come from a great city. She lived in a small village, where her father was a dyer of wool. He was very skillful  But even more skillful than her father was Arachne. She wove soft, fine threads into cloth. Her eyes were light and here hair was dusty. Soon her products were known all over Greece. Many people loved them, and had never seen anything like them before!

Arachne's fame spread far and wide. Many people came to visit her just to watch her work. Sometimes, even the nymphs would watch Arachne. Many people though that it was Athena taught Arachne this skill. They would tell each other, "Surely Athena herself must of taught her."

Arachne thought that she was better than Athena.Hearing this, Athena came down and disguised herself as an old lady. But, hearing Arachne's pride, she went into her true form, and they had a weaving contest. Athena, in  anger, turned Arachne into a spider. Ever since then, spiders have weaved her webs.
