==Arachne in Supernatural==
Arachne are humanoid monsters with spider-like abilities and attributes. They haven't been seen outside of Crete in 2,000 years, but a female arachnid appears in Bristol, Rhode Island, in 2010/11. Their poisonous bite can turn humans into arachne. Once turned, arachne can mate and produce offspring. Because of their rarity, there is little lore on them or on how to kill them.<ref name="six13">[[6.13 Unforgiven]]</ref>

==Arachne in Lore==
Arachne, a Goddess in Greek mythology, was originally a mortal who was an expert weaver taught by the goddess Athena. Arachne was proud of her work, and proclaimed herself better than Athena. After Athena challenges her to see her is the best weaver, Arachne weaves a tapestry showing the Gods in the worst light. Enraged Athean destroys the tapestry, and then Arachne kills herself.
