Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, the "Venus" of Roman mythology, was the wife of Hephaestus
Hephaestus was the son of Zeus and Hera, and he possessed forging techniques unrivalled. Hephaestus was born on Mount Olympus and was born crippled and frail. Hera was furious when she saw this skinny and ugly son appear in front of her. She threw the baby from Mount Olympus to the distant ground.

After flying in the air for a long time, the poor baby fell into the waves of the endless sea. Eulenoma, the daughter of Oghianos, the god of the oceans, and the daughter of the old sea god Nerus, who had not yet known the prophet, saved the baby and took him to raise him in a blue cave in the depths of the gray ocean. Hephaestus grew up, still lame and still not pretty, but his neck was muscular, his chest was broad, and more importantly, his hands were unusually strong. With such an extraordinary talent, he became the most outstanding artist in the field of forging. In gratitude to Euronomaw and Thetis for nurturing him, he used gold and silver to create many exquisite ornaments for them.
Because of the abandonment of his mother Hera, Hephaestus has always harbored resentment towards her and is determined to take revenge. He sent a gold chair he had forged to Mount Olympus, claiming to be a gift to his mother. The chair was so gorgeous that zeus's wife was ecstatic. Yes, such a gorgeous and peculiar chair is only qualified by the gods and the queen of mankind. But something terrible happened! As soon as Hera sat down, many ropes appeared on the chair that kept pulling her to the chair, and Hera could not get up. The gods came to their aid, but no one could rescue the queen, and only Hephaestus, the forer of the golden chair, could liberate his mother.
Hermes was sent to find Hephaestus. He sped toward the edge of the world, to the Great Ocean River. In the blink of an eye, he crossed the land and sea and stopped in the cave where Hephaestus worked. Hermes pleaded with Hephaestus to return to Mount Olympus with him, freeing Queen Hera. Unable to forget his mother's abuse of him, the God of Forgery categorically refused Hermes' request. When Hermes's persuasion was ineffective, Dionysus, the happy god of Dionysus, came to his aid. He served Hephaestus glass after glass of wine and drunk Hephaestus so that he would have no problem taking him wherever he went. Hephaestus was drunk at the mercy of Dionysus, the god of wine, and Helmes helped Hephaestus onto the back of a donkey on Mount Olympus. Hephaestus swayed on the back of a donkey, and the mad woman of Menades wrapped her head around ivy, holding a Dionysian staff in her hand, and the drunken Satyros jumped happily but clumsily around him. Torches burned, and the sonorous sound of cymbals and tambourines was mixed with joyful laughter. Dionysus, the god of wine, put the crown of ivy on his head, clutched the staff of Dionysus, and led the joyful procession to Mount Olympus. Hephaestus cast his old hatred behind him and instantly untied the rope that bound his mother.

Later, Hephaestus lived on Mount Olympus. He built countless palaces for the gods, and built a palace of gold, silver and bronze for himself to live with his wife, Aglaia, the beautiful and enthusiastic goddess of beauty. He also set up a magical blacksmith shop in the palace and spent most of his time there. A large anvil stands in the center of the blacksmith's shop, and a roaring stove and bellows are placed in the corner. It's a wonderful bellows that doesn't need to be pulled and automatically delivers air according to Hephaestus' orders. When the bellows obeyed Hephaestus' order to send air, the fire in the furnace was inflamed. Hephaestus, the god of forging, wore a black ash and sweated like rain in the blacksmith's shop. Create indescribably beautiful objects, including sharp weapons, gold and silver jewelry, wine bowls and goblets, and three-legged tables. These three-legged offering tables are equipped with golden wheels and can move freely, as if they had life.

When he was finished, Hephaestus dipped into the scented bathroom, washed off his sweat and soot, and staggered his feeble lame feet to the feast of the gods and to his father Zeus. Hephaestus was kind and courteous, always able to quell the intensifying quarrel between Zeus and Hera. Hephaestus limped around the table, filling the cups of the gods with fragrant wine, and the gods laughed and forgot their quarrels.
But Hephaestus also had harsh times. Many were intimidated by the power of his fire and the mighty hammer. Even the roaring rivers of Xantos and Seymous outside Troy were subdued by his fire. The Hammer had also helped the fierce Hephaestus defeat the mighty Giants.
Hephaestus, the great god of fire and the god of forging with great craftsmanship, brought warmth and happiness to people, he was warm and polite, but he also gave severe punishment to others.
