Yes - I always thought Arachne was turned into a spider in punishment for defying Athena. Similarly, when Ungoliant went over to Melkor in the beginning, she had the shape of a spider forced upon her by Vaire. Again, there is nothing to substantiate this that I have read (maybe it's in one of the HoME books). Anyway, it's an interesting parallel.
