Literature

Arachne's Labours Spinning and weaving. Arachne was so skilful a needlewoman that she challenged Minerva to a trial of skill, and hanged herself because the goddess beat her. Minerva then changed her into a spider.
"Arachne's labours ne'er her hours divide,
Her noble hands nor looms nor spindles guide."
