 Arachne, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
But there is one knowledge you do not gain and have never sought it: to implant a right mind where no wisdom dwells."
Arachne, who lived in Maeonia, a region in Lydia about Mount Tmolus in Asia Minor, had gained a high reputation in all Lydian cities for being the best in the art of spinning and weaving wool.

Come, bright love of fame, inspire my glowing breast: not thee I call, who, over swelling tides of blood and tears, dost bear the heroe on to glory, while sighs of millions waft his spreading sails; but thee, fair, gentle maid, whom Mnesis, happy nympth, first on the banks of Hebrus did produce.
Thee, whom Maeonia educated, whom Mantua charmed, and who, on that fair hill which overlooks the proud metropolis of Britain, sat'st, with thy Milton, sweetly tuning the heroic lyre; fill my ravished fancy with the hopes of charming ages yet to come.
Foretel me that some tender maid, whose grandmother is yet unborn, hereafter, when, under the fictitious name of Sophia, she reads the real worth which once existed in my Charlotte, shall from her sympathetic breast send forth the heaving sigh.
