CommonLit: The Transformation of Arachne into a Spider

1 answer:

7 0

While Pallas weaves a picture that is flattering to the gods, Arachne weaves an image that shows that god's flaws, which leads to her death and transformation.

<h3>The imagery in the myth of Arachne</h3>

Arachne is a mortal woman whereas Pallas Athena is a goddess. Both have amazing weaving skills and can weave incredible images into their word. Let's analyze the imagery they weave and their meaning in the myth.

Arachne weaves an image that shows the gods' flaws, in special the times when they took human form to quench their sensual desires. On the other hand, Pallas weaves an image that shows how mighty the gods are, and how humans can be ungrateful and undeserving. Her tapestry is flattering to the gods.

After weaving, Arachne dies and is transformed into a spider by Pallas. Her transformation, along with the imagery described above, contributes to the myth's meaning that mortals and gods are not equals.
