Miss Arrow contends that Peter Parker isnt actually the first person to become a spider. She begins to tell the story of Arachne Behold and Wonder, as depicted weaving a huge tapestry on the stage with her weavers. She was an Ancient Greek weaver who challenged Athena, the Goddess of Weaving, to a duel Arachne who wove blasphemous images in her tapestry to mock the gods, won but was punished for her hubris by Athena, who destroyed her work with a crack of a lightning bolt.
