Lore

  • As the son of Zeus, the king of the gods, and Hera, the queen of the gods, Hephaestus should have been quite handsome, but baby Hephaestus was small and ugly with a red, bawling face (in some tellings he already had a lame, shriveled leg as well). Hera was so horrified that she hurled the tiny baby off the top of Mount Olympus. Hephaestus fell down for a day and a night, landing in the sea. Unfortunately, one of his legs broke as he hit the water, and never developed properly. In another version, he was cast down by Zeus, and he fell for an entire day before landing on the island of Lemnos, where he was cared for and taught to be a master craftsman by the Sintians.
