レスボス島の文献には、マリス（ΜǶλις）が機織りをしている姿が描かれており、アニック・ペインによれば、これは女神がギリシャ人にも崇拝されていたことを示しているかもしれないとのことである<ref>Payne, 2019, p242</ref>。ラザフォードは、この記述がアナトリアの伝統を反映しているとすれば、マリスとアテーナーの間に頻繁に交わされる同一視の背後にある理由かもしれないと指摘する一方で、既存の同一視に依拠したギリシャ人の発明である可能性もあるとみている<ef>Rutherford, 2020, p329</ref>。

A literary fragment from [[Lesbos]] portrays Malis (Μᾶλις) as a weaver, and according to Annick Payne might be an indication the goddess was also worshiped by Greeks. Rutherford notes that if this description reflects an Anatolian tradition, it might have been the reason behind the frequent equation between Malis and Athena, though he also considers it possible that it was a Greek invention relying on a preexisting equation.{{sfn|Rutherford|2020|p=329}} At the same time, he tentatively speculates that since the myth of [[Arachne]] is not recorded in sources predating [[Ovid]], according to whom the contest between the mythical weavers took place in [[Hypaepa]] in Lydia, it might have originally been a Lydian myth about Malis, if the hypothesis that she was a weaver goddess is accepted.{{sfn|Rutherford|2020|pp=329-220}} Payne in her analysis of available evidence notes that a figurine of a weaver in Lydian headwear found at [[Ephesus]] might also be evidence of Greek worship of Malis as a deity of such character.{{sfn|Payne|2019|p=242}} [[Hipponax]], an early Greek poet who apparently spoke both Greek and Lydian, left behind a short invocation addressed to Malis (Μαλὶς):
