Last week seems a long time ago! This was not a very satisfying theme.
i think what the setter intends is this - Daphne and Niobe do not transform at all, as they actually transformed in the stories.
The rest are characters that most people have never heard of, from the Ovid books, anagrammed into other words you've equally never heard of!

The only one I know is Arachne, who was a spinner and has spider connections etymologically too, she presumably becomes acharne or achnrae.
