Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark 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. Arachne was so distraught, she hanged herself. Athena felt guilty, so she gave her eternal life in the form of the world's first spider, doomed to weave in the shadows forever, never more in the light. The scene dissolves into Queens High School where Peter Parker is presenting an oral report
Temple of Athena Nike the north. The sheer walls of its bastion were protected on the north, west, and south by the "Nike Parapet", named for its frieze of Nikai celebrating victory and sacrificing to their patroness, Athena Nike. Nike means "victory" in Greek, and Athena was worshipped in this form, representative of being victorious in war. The citizens worshipped the goddess in hopes of a successful outcome in the long Peloponnesian War fought against the Spartans and their allies. In the sixth century BCE a cult of Athena Nike was established and a small temple was built using Mycenaean fortification and Cyclopean masonry.
