Question restatement: In the Athenian version of Arachne’s story, what trait associated with spiders came into play?
Option 1: spiders make webs in abandoned places. This choice highlights a common image of spiders weaving webs in secluded or unused spaces, but in the Athenian tale the emphasis is not specifically about the location where webs are made; it centers more on the act of weaving itself as a symbol.
Option 2: spiders are lustful. This description assigns a human moral trait that is not a theme in the Arachne myth; the story focuses on craft and hubris, not on desires.
Option 3: spiders are ugly. The myth does not frame spiders as ugly as a moral or narrative device; the emphasis is on the artistic skill and the punishment for pride, rather than appearance.
Option 4: spiders are quiet. This attribute discusses an auditory or behavioral quality that does not play a significant role in the Arachne narrative; there is no thematic link to quietness in the myth’s lesson.
Deeper reasoning: The Athenian version of Arachne’s tale centers on skillful weaving and the transformation of Arachne into a spider as punishment for boasting about her weaving, which underscores the spider’s association with weaving and artistry. Among the options, the one that most directly ties to the central motif of weaving is the idea that spiders weave webs, a direct parallel to the craft that led to the consequence in the story.
When evaluating misconceptions: Option 2 incorrectly attributes human motives (lust) to spiders, which is not part of the myth’s moral or symbol; Option 3 misreads the narrative focus by imposing a value judgment on appearance rather than craft or consequence; Option 4 shifts attention to an inconsequential behavioral trait (quietness) that does not connect to the core symbol of weaving. The option that aligns with the core motif of the myth—that spiders are associated with weaving—provides the most coherent linkage to the story’s theme.
In summary, the reasoning points toward weaving as the key spider-associated trait in the Athenian version, rather than the other suggested attributes.
