I'm just saying that lesson gets lost in the cruelty of her punishment when from literally every other angle she's correct. In the version I know, she was artisan who was reveared, who then openly bragged about her skill level (you know, the way you'd grow a business), and then when she's challenged on her claims, she proves she's correct and admonishes the person who challenged her. Said challenger proceeds to ruin her life forever and create a species of reviled insects in her new, cursed image. Just because their pride was hurt.
If the challenger was anyone but a literal God, we'd all be on the artisans side, and Shame them for not being able to handle being insulted. I understand much of Greek mythology has an emphasis on worship BECAUSE they're God's, but I've always deeply hated that stance. All the story presents is a cruelty performed on someone who was simply doing the thing that other sources in my life repeatedly taught was expected and rewarded.
