Sign in to savepersonaggio della mitologia greca
Arachne is a figure from classical mythology whose story, primarily known through the Roman poet Ovid's *Metamorphoses*, tells of a mortal woman who challenged the goddess Minerva to a weaving contest and was transformed into a spider as punishment. The myth illustrates themes of hubris and divine retribution, as Minerva's rage at Arachne's skill and presumption leads to the girl's tragic fate.

Aracne (detta anche Aragne) è una figura mitologica. Ovidio narra la sua storia nel VI libro delle Metamorfosi, ma pare che il personaggio, già citato nelle Georgiche virgiliane, sia d'origine greca.
