Hephaestus



Hephaestus, the god of fire and the forge is the son of Hera. Hera banished Hephaestus from Olympus when he was born since he was disfigured. However, Hephaestus was still the craftsman of the gods. He designed and built many un-beatable weapons for the gods and their heroes.

Hephaestus has always been in love with Aphrodite. When he saw Leandra of Syllabus he thought she resembled Aphrodite and so asked her to marry him. Leandra spurned him and so Hephaestus cursed the village of Syllabus to disappear for fifty years. Later, Leandra agreed to marry Hepaheastus if he would remove the curse. Instead, Aphrodite fell in love with the god of fire. Hephaestus removed the curse and he and Aphrodite became a couple (HTLJ "Love Takes a Holiday").
