Arachne
It has also been suggested that Jeremias Gotthelf's nineteenth century novella, "The Black Spider", was heavily influenced by the Arachne story from Ovid's "Metamorphoses". In the novella, a woman is turned into a venomous spider having reneged on a deal with the devil.
Antigone of Troy
Antigone claimed that her hair was more beautiful than that of the goddess Hera. Hera, who was angered by that claim, turned Antigone's hair into snakes. Later, another god, pitying her, turned her into a stork. Thereafter the stork preyed on snakes.
