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!

Mama L [17]

The correct answer is A) A blogger publishes secret national security information.

<em>Each of these activities is protected by the constitutional right of free expression except </em><u><em>a blogger publishes secret national security information</em></u><em>. </em>

The constitutional right of free expression can be found in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that was signed in December 1791, as part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment prohibits the government from creating laws that establish any kind of religion or dogma and prohibits the free exercise of religion. The First Amendment also prohibits the government to interfere with the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, and the right to assemble in a peaceful way.

What are the characteristics of the Middle Colonies?
weeeeeb [17]
What / or who are they: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey

Why middle: These were the 4 of the 13 original colonies that were between the northern and southern colonies.

Religion: this is the sentence you really like to write. There were all sorts of religions present, but not one of them could dominate. These 4 colonies had Lutherans, Mennonites, Calvinists (mostly Dutch), and Presbyterians. 

Commerce: mostly agriculture at the time, but not restricted to 1 crop as the south was. Had good ports and growing cities (New York, Philadelphia).  I like to include the well respected intellectual hotbed of people there like Ben Franklin.
