Dryope, Anaxarete, Daphne, Arachne, or Niobe: how easy did each one get off?
I don't feel that any of these women got off easily. Arachne would probably be my choice for the one who got off the easiest since she was still a living, breathing entity. Although, I can't imagine being a spider a very nice existence.
Reply:I think it sucked for all of them, but Arachne had to live out her exsistince while the rest were basically dead.
Reply:I'd say Arachne got off the best, though not very well. But at least she could still move around.
Reply:i'd say arachne got the worse of all of them. daohne and dryope did ok because trees r great and the lotus flower is burned into mythology for all kinds of great things. but niobe and anaxarete are probaly tired of people walking all over them or throwing them in water!
Reply:I'd go with Daphne. She asked the river god Peneus to change her into a tree, in order to escape. The others were transformed as a punishment. They didn't ask for it.
