A/N: This is another one of my crappy short little stories- this time, The myth of Athena and Arachne- Modernized!
Disclaimer: Uh..well.. i don't own Athena or Arachne...not sure who does though...(||^_^)
The New tale of Athena and Arachne
There once was a beautiful woman named Arachne. She was famous in town for her drawing and designing. Every day, many people came to stop and look at her fine skills. Arachne loved to greatly boast about her skill, and felt she could even compete against the famous designer Athena, and win her with ease.
When Athena heard those words, she was not happy. In fact, she was furious! She disguised herself as a cute little girl, and told Arachne not to mess with a famous, rich person, and that no everyday person could compete against Athena. Arachne was furious, and challenged Athena to a contest. The little girl then transformed herself into Athena. The people in the room all bowed down to her, all except for Arachne.
The contest began, and Athena began drawing marvelous pictures of dazzling dresses and her contest with a rival in the fashion industry. Arachne was drawing scenes of famous designers' failed designs. Arachne's work was perfect technically, but it wasn't beautiful, because it was mocking the important figures. Athena had had enough, and said, "You are stubborn and foolish, but you love your skill, so why don't you go draw forever!" With that, she sprinkled some magical orange juice on Arachne, which turned her into a spider, with lead as her hands and feet. From that moment on, Arachne is cursed to be stuck in her state, drawing endlessly, but having her works being erased, scrubbed, and destroyed by man.
A/N: If you were wondering, this was for another assignment, although not modernized- i changed it to be that way so it would be a fanfic _
