That's quite a deep conversation with a spider of all things wtff

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

Well, Arachne's not just any spider. She was a mortal woman who was cursed by Athena to become a spider. All because, as she said, Athena was a god who was jealous of Arachne's beauty

[@finnmchugh99]

​@caiusdrakegaming8087 depends on the version it wasn't beauty....it was talent in weaving Athena was jealous of. They had a contest, Anmthena lost and she raged and destroyed Arachne's tapestry and loom which made Arachne attempt to hang herself and in a moment of regret Athena turned her into a spider before she could commit suicide.

[@JayJayM57]

@@caiusdrakegaming8087 no, that`s Orvid's version he was an A-hole with authority issues so he demonized the Gods.

[@ВладиславБулаев-л3э]

@@caiusdrakegaming8087 I know the myth, but on the surface level (a humanoid conversing with a spider) it is definitely impressive to hear such things.

[@TheAngryXenite]

​@finnmchugh99 And in the original version, Athena did nothing to her at all. Arachne made a tapestry that, while beautiful and better than Athena's, was designed around the various blunders and exploits of the gods, to mock them. She was so terrified of how this would be received once she'd actually done it that she fled the scene and hanged herself, and Athena turned her into a spider as an act of mercy so that she could weave forever.

[@Mauricio0973]

0:56 being a magnificent talent is what put Arachne in this situation lmao

[@AtticusKarpenter]

Well she didn't chose to be born with talent, mortals got punished for the doings of Fates/RNGesus by the gods all the time

[@visionofsolace8961]

Honestly, is it REALLY her fault that Athena chose this for her? She could have just cursed her with being unable to talk smack about the gods, specifically smack.

[@TheCraftySam]

@@visionofsolace8961 In the original myth Arachne was going to k!ll herself after being scolded by Athena. Athena turned her into a spider to stop her from committing suicide. Not the greatest response from the goddess of wisdom, tbf I don't think I'd be less suicidal if I were magically turned into a spider. But she was allowed to continue doing the thing she was amazing at, which is more than can be said for some of the others the gods have literally and metaphorically fucked over.

[@tiredtortoise3396]

@@visionofsolace8961 The version of the myth I recall has Athena and Arachne engage in a weaving competition, in which Arachne deliberately creates images (deservedly) mocking the gods, which indicates to Athena that she very much did not learn her lesson from a goddess manifesting to hubris-check her. However, most of the information we have on the myth comes from Ovid, who had a habit of massively altering older myths to fit his anti-establishment narrative (Medusa being the most infamous example), so it is little surprise that in the main version we have from him, Athena is shown as petty as possible.

Athena did her dirty depending on which version of the story you go with. Actually making her a spider was a dick move in general, no wonder she hates the gods minus Mel. Most of them are assholes 😢

[@ashec.6824]

Seems like they're going with the version where Athena uses Hecate's herbs to enact the curse. There's a crossroads conversation with Hecate where she slips up and low-key self reports when Mel asks if there's anything they can do as witches to help Arachne.

[@hanzulco]

​@@ashec.6824Hecate secretly help with the curse made me hate her a little bit. Just a little bit, hope there's no another one

[@TheAngryXenite]

I mean, the idea of making her a spider was to let her do what she loved forever. Even versions of the story where Athena is more cruel generally represent the transformation of Arachne less as a punishment and more as an act of remorse from Athena after she hangs herself.

[@JayJayM57]

there are not that many version

[@Voldrim359]

Arachne too had the gal to scream in the 4 winds that she is better than Athena in that aspect... Of course, Arachne was right, but gods are prideful and petty

[@kassidytucker8431]

PLEASE GIVE US A WAY TO UNCURSE THE SPIDER PLEASE!!!!

[@soothsayingProfit]

I imagine that'll be a thing in the full game. A thing with hades 1 was letting the "sinners" of the underworld lighten their sentence- Achilles to be with Patroclus, Orpheus to be with Eurydice, Sisyphus to not have to push the boulder for all time. In this case it's probably to fix the wrongs the gods enacted out of pettiness. Arachne for beating Athena at weaving and turned her into a spider; Narcissus, who Nemesis proclaimed that Narcissus would never be able to be loved b the one he fell in love with because Ameinas was ignored by him; Echo, who Hera cursed to only speak the last words spoken to her because she was ordered to lie to Hera about Zeus' infidelity with the Nymphs; Heracles, who Hera went out of her way to make his life a living hell because again, Zeus; Icarus, who Helios punished him for his hubris of flight There's even a few others. Scylla was poisoned by Aphitrite and turned into a monster, or in some accounts it was Circe who poisoned her. if Dora is (probably) Pandora, then she was the first woman who was made by the gods purely to punish mankind for 'stealing' fire (Prometheus gave it to them) by giving her a pythos containing all of the world's misery and disease.

[@AtticusKarpenter]

I actually like that look they gave her, she is not just sentient spider (like, actual animal) but not hot spider-mommy either. In the first case it would be harder to emotionally bound to her as to person, in the second - "punishment"/"curse" part of the transformation would be missed But yeah she is clearly unfit for active sexual relationship. (Make this into glorious "would you love me if i was turned into worm?" or tales about hero being not picky and in reward monster/ugly/old turned into super beauty because that was a test) They bring so much comfort to each other so i cant help but ship hard, yet i doubt Supergiant will let Mel undo thre curse placed on Arachna (beat Chronos into helping with curse lol, sure time magic can rewind body to the previous shape)
