How might Athena feel about Arachne saying she is better than her at weaving and spinning?

outraged / jealous / hateful

Explanation:

This question centres around the conflict in the Greek myth "Athena and Arachne".

The basic plot of this story is that Arachne, a young woman who excels at spinning and weaving, foolishly challenges Athena (goddess of weaving, wisdom, and war) to a weaving match. Unfortunately, Arachne's tapestry is more beautiful than Athena's, causing Athena to become angered and, in a fit of rage, to turn Arachne into a spider.

Let's examine the situation here: Athena is the goddess of weaving (among others), which should mean that she's the superior one when it comes to spinning tapestries. Enter a mortal girl, Arachne. She claims that she's better at weaving than a goddess. Of course, Athena must feel outraged, jealous, and even hateful. Who would want someone else to say that they're better at the activity you're known for?
