Arachne is considered the best weaver in the country. But, she is too much of a show off person, she catches Athena's attention at the time the woman challenges the goddess to a competition.
Although the mortal is the winner of the contest, Arachne is punished by Athena with a sad curse.
This version of Arachne's myth is really engaging for kids, but I always like to mention the differences that are possible to spot when reading other versions.
Sad, but... We do enjoy some mischief in stories!

Another assigned reading from my Greek tutor. I can see why: lots of past tense practice here.
