Boy Athena was merciless, I'd sooner PO Hera before Athena.... Granted Arachne deserved it, Madusa didn't deserve what she got, but I guess since she couldn't punish Poseidon.....

Actually, I think Medusa did deserve it more than Arachne. What she did in Athena's temple was disrespectful. Arachne's only crime was that she had too much of an ego; Athena cursed her more out of spite than anything else. Both received a curse worse than they probably deserved, but if one thing is clear from the myths, mortals always suffer worse than immortals. As someone earlier said, only gods like Hestia and Hades have never shown to be spiteful.
