Why did Athena curse Arachne into a spider?

History
2 answers:
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: It was because Arachne kept on bragging that she was the best weaver.

Explanation: Athena cursed Arachne into a spider because she kept bragging about how she can weave beautiful tapestries. So one day Athena disguised herself as an old woman and had a weaving competition. Arachne was being super rude to the old woman (aka Athena), and when so many people liked the old woman's better, Arachne was jealous and she ripped Athena's tapestry. Soon, Athena revealed herself and cursed Arachne to be a spider so she can weave webs/learn her lesson. This is where the word 'arachnid' came from.

Hope it helps.

Answer: Hi!

Arachne was known throughout her village as an extraordinary weaver. She bragged throughout her village of her talent - but one day, she went too far and said she had more talent then Athena! However, Athena was the god of weaving. They commenced to challenge each other to a weaving contest - but even though Athena was the god of weaving, nobody could tell whose was better! They were of equal quality! But Arachne decided that she couldn't deal with life anymore and tried to hang herself. Athena wouldn't have it and cursed her into a spider - kinder than what she could've been, because she could still somewhat use her weaving skills as a spider.

Hope this helps!

What is social security in the western Europe
Tatiana [17]

Social security cooperation in West- ern Europe was significantly advanced at Paris on November 7, 1949, when multilateral conventions on social se- curity and social assistance were signed by the foreign ministers of the five countries that are parties to the treaty at Brussels on economic, social, and cultural collaboration and collec- tive self-defense. The countries- Belgium, France, Great Britain, Lux- embourg, and the Netherlands-thus approved the work of the Social Com- mittees of the Brussels Treaty Perma- nent Commission in these fields.

The multilateral convention on so-

cial security is supplementary to a

series of bilateral social security agree-

ments among these Nations. Some

of the bilateral agreements had been

signed before the conclusion of the

multilateral treaty, others have been

concluded since, and others are still

being negotiated. The general aim

of each agreement is to treat the citi- sion, CommuniquB, “Social Security in ing bilateral agreements has been zens of both contracting countries Western Union,” Annex I, November 4, France, which concluded agreements equally with respect to the social se- 1949.
