The book describes Arachne as '...the greatest weaver in the worldâher fate's the proof of it. She had the bad luck to defeat the goddess Athena in a weaving contest. Athena was a sore loser, and Arachne is now a spider, creating only for Mommy Fortuna's Midnight Carnival, by special arrangement.
In the Golden Age, Ares was Wonder Womanâs arch-nemesis. He is the God of War and gets stronger when there is conflict in the world. Athena is also a goddess of war, but she only agrees to fight when it is wise. Ares, at the other hand, is shown both in mythology and in Wonder Woman Golden Age comics as blood lusty.
