God Hephaestus

The main aspects of the mythology of Hephaestus:

Birth and banishment: According to the myths, Hera threw Hephaestus off Olympus because of his ugliness. He fell into the ocean, where he was found and raised by the nymphs Thetis and Eurynoma.
In another version of the myth, Hephaestus himself left Olympus in protest against his parents.

Forge and craftsmanship: Hephaestus had exceptional skill in blacksmithing and was responsible for creating many divine artifacts, including armor and weapons for gods and heroes.
His forge was located beneath the volcano Etna, and he used lava and fire for his work.

Marriage to Aphrodite: Hephaestus was married to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, although their marriage was not a happy one. Aphrodite cheated on him with Ares, the god of war.
Upon learning of the infidelity, Hephaestus set a trap and caught them together to expose them to the gods of Olympus.

Creation of Pandora: Hephaestus participated in the creation of Pandora at the behest of Zeus. He created the first woman out of clay and breathed life into her so that she would be the bearer of all troubles for mankind.

Famous creations: Achilles' armor, which he made at the request of Thetis.
The scepter of Zeus and the throne for Hera.
The shield of Heracles and the Aegis of Athena.

Hephaestus is often depicted as a bearded man with strong arms and usually carrying the tools of a blacksmith. He symbolizes diligence, skill and ingenuity.
