  • Essay / The weaving competition - 709

    Hello to you mortals, I am Arachne, the queen of spiders. If you're asking how I became the Arachnid Queen, it's because of Minerva. Well, I'll tell you how it all started, it all started when I was weaving in a forest in Rome. I was a charming young woman with shiny black hair, bright red eyes, and lush pink lips, and my skin was as shiny as a diamond. I was about to finish my largest tapestry when a young wood nymph came to me and said that Minerva must have given you the gift of making beautiful works of art. When I heard I asked her her name, she said she was juniper. Juniper, I said I didn't learn from Minerva and train with these feats, I learned this stuff on my own. But Juniper gave me an idea, she told me that if you learn this on your own, how come you haven't become the goddess of crafts and art. When I heard Juniper say that, well, I said because Jupiter, the god of wind, thinks Minerva is better art. more craftsman than me. So I'm going to challenge Minerva to a weaving competition. Then all the nymphs realized it was a bad idea, even Juniper, who knew that when you defy a god, there are consequences. But I knew it would be okay and when I finished the tapestry I sought to practice it until I had practice. Word spread that my tapestry was the most beautiful and when that idiot Minerva heard this, she became indignant. So one day Minerva dressed as an old lady and knocked on the door of my palace. She said I shouldn't oppose Minerva, but I said why didn't Minerva show up, she's a coward. When I said these last words, the old witch transformed into the goddess Minerva herself. My face was full of red, of course Minerva would try that to stop me from challenging and saying I'm the worst artist... middle of paper... forever now as spider queen. No, it can't be Minerva, please rate it like that, please, I'll do anything, anything!!! But she just looked at me and I thought she thought revenge was the best way to apologize. Next thing I know, the bottom part has become a big black ball, my eyes have changed from red to blood red, my legs have spread into eight big wire-like legs. Next thing I know, I've become the god of spiders. So now you see Minerva is the bad guy, not me, she stripped me of my dignity, my life, my creations, everything. Now you see why Minerva is evil, I didn't do anything to deserve this. So you see, I'm not the bad guy, Minerva is. I tried to challenge her fairly, I even won but she just couldn't let go. So now I have to be this achieved form and not my beautiful form. So I hope you learned a lesson from my story and make sure you never get jealous of anyone else..
