- W24656375 abstract "In Ovid’s epic poem Metamorphoses (completed around 8 A.D.), a mortal woman named Arachne challenges Minerva, the goddess of warriors, crafts and wisdom, to a duel. Fuelled by hubris, Arachne proclaims that she can weave a tapestry of far superior quality than any produced by the proud goddess. The two set about the task, their ‘labour lightened by pleasure’ (2004, 212). Minerva depicts her defeat of Neptune in a dispute over a claim on a city; the other gods ‘look on in amazement’ while she is crowned by victory (2004, 213). Surrounding the central image are four smaller vignettes showing contests between mortals and gods: in each the mortal is punished for their audacity. Arachne’s tapestry takes as its main subject matter the seduction of Europa by Jove in the guise of a bull; ‘the bull and the sea were convincingly real’ (2004, 215). Other mortal women seduced by the gods are also shown (Leda, Asterie, Antiope, Danae, Erigon – plus others, the list of seductions depicted is long). Such was Arachne’s skill, ‘...not even the goddess of Envy could criticize weaving like that’ (2004, 216). 1 What would become known as Athens after Minerva’s Greek name Athena." @default.
