7th book "Hephaistos, the Lame Lord of Fire" I am before you again.
Hephaestus is the son of Zeus and Hera. According to some sources, Hera gave birth to him alone. After he was born, he threw his son down from Olympus, the mountain of the gods, because he was ugly and the other gods and goddesses made fun of him.
The sea goddess Thetis took care of the baby god, who fell into the sea, and raised him. Later, realizing his talent, she gave him to the Cyclopes in the volcano on the island of Lemnos to be trained. After some time, Hephaestus made and implemented some plans to take revenge on his mother Hera, and thus, he began to live in Olympos and married Aphrodite. However, the end of their marriage was a bit sad. Hephaestus, who broke up with Aphrodite as a result of some bad events, married Charis and lived very happily.
By the way, another detail that I cannot help but mention is this: Hephaestus also indirectly intervened in the Trojan War, in which there was almost no god or goddess who did not interfere. Are we surprised :)
Happy Reading!
