Goddess challenged by Arachne to a weaving contest (6)

I believe the answer is:

athena

(Other definitions for athena that I've seen before include "One-time goddess" , "wise but fierce goddess" , "Greek goddess of a capital city" , "Greek goddess of wisdom etc." .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
