I could write about the weaving competition between Athena and Arachne. How she thought she was better than everyone including Athena. How she put all the crimes of the gods on the tapestry while Athena put the beginning of Athens. They were both beautiful but her hubris was too great of a crime to be ignored and got turned into a spider to weave webs for the rest of her life.
I could also write the story of how Persephone was kidnapped by Pluto and no one told Demeter what actually happened. The way she wondered the world looking for her daughter and how all the crops of the earth were dying because she refused to do her job in her grief. The way she got tricked into eating three seeds of pomegranate and had to stay in the underworld for 3 months because of it. This is why we have winter for three 3 months and the changing of the seasons.
