It's sad that although the other gods depended on Hephaestus so much, they treated him with so much disrespect because of his looks & him being crippled. If he had had a perfect body like Ares Aphrodite most likely would not have strayed. Like humans they judged too much on looks & not enough on character.

You can really look at Hephaestus as another example of a "wounded healer" archetype. He is often seen as a craftsman, but really his gifts and creations for the other gods - Hermes' sandals and helmet, Achilles's shield, Athena's spear or Artemis's bow and arrow - are not just gadgets but the artefacts bringing out the greatest talent of each of them. So from that perspective, he really helped them realise their full potential.

I feel like Hephaestus should be a more respected god since he could probably create weapons that could trap the gods and create very powerful weapons.

Him and ares

Being the god of the forge has to translate to a God of invention or mathematics. Being a master craftsman takes real skill and imagination that most people don’t have to begin with.

Hephaestus has always been my favorite god from the pantheon. I liked the fact that he was skilled in crafting and everything he made was astonishing to say the least. There is another story saying that in fact Hephaestus wasn't always ugly or deformed as people know. There's a story saying that while Hephaestus worked there was an accident where the fire of Olympus escaped the forge and engulfed his face, his wounds were so severe that his face remained deformed. Another version is when Hephaestus angered Zeus after Hera bragged about the skill of her son, in a fit of jealousy Zeus struck Hephaestus so hard he was thrown off the top of mount Olympus and fell into the sea. There's another story where Zeus continued to trick Hephaestus promising him Afrodita's hand in marriage in exchange for his services, so Hephaestus labored to satisfy Zeus' requirements only to find out in the end that Afrodita couldn't possibly love someone has ugly as him and that she was already in love with Ares. So Hephaestus crafted a chastity belt disguised as a beautiful golden belt and gifted it to Afrodita, when she wore the belt it locked on her waist and refused to be unbound, thus she could no longer have any kind of joining with any god. Thus Afrodita was forced to marry Hephaestus over Ares, under the promise to remove the belt.

Hephaestus has always been one of my favorite Greek gods. I love his interpretation in the new 52 Wonder Woman comic's.

Hephestus is actually my favorite God. He just wanted to belong on Mount Olympus and just wanted to be loved. And I actually like that Aphrodite and Ares were caught by Hephestus. They did wrong. She cheated on her loving husband. He's da only God that I like he's really cool.

Major issue was that Athena was an "forever virgin" type of goddess. Most goddesses were grouped as virgin,mother and/or crone(not as often crones in Hellenic but as an aspect of them). Athena, Artemis and others were forever virgins. This is why even though Hephaestus tried to rape her he ejaculated on the thigh and Gaia gave birth to their son meant to be the king of Athens(city). Side note their son was Snake/reptilian-like to bear the actions of his father for all to see. He can be seen as the snake Athena sometimes holds or has around her. Also it's connected to medusa's punishment for losing her virginity (as she was a virgin priestess of Athena) in her temple even though it wasn't her fault. And this is also connected to people believing reptilians rule the world as it was them that were the (mythological) first kings of Athens before democracy.

I've heard of at least one version of the story were the only reason behind Hephaestus's advance on Athena was because Aphrodite filled his mind with an uncontrollable lust for her as payback for stringing her and Ares up in front of the other gods.

Hephaestus is the Male Creative - there is quite a bit of interesting psychology around the deity. Also, you should understand that blacksmiths - to the ancients - were a kind of "sorcerer" or sorts - it was alchemy. Very similar to Ogun in Africa (in fact, some of the most advanced metalwork in iron comes from sub-saharan West Africa - and during the slave trade - Africans brought their technology to the new world - almost all of our ornate ironwork comes from West African peoples combining their knowledge with the more ornate patterns of the French and English - something to think about the next time you visit New Orleans or nearly any southern city in the United States - and many northern ones as well - but I digress...). Being a masculine embodiment of what is a predominantly feminine principle (creativity) and the ascension of male primacy in the Greek Pantheon (at one point there was 6 "masculine" and 6 " feminine" primary principles of deity - when Hestia "steps down" and Dionysius takes her throne - 7 male and 5 female "prime" dieties - and Zeus becomes as well the male "head" ..... I'm getting into too much ancient history here.....).....he is shown as lame. As well, it was a custom of many peoples to hobble their blacksmiths in the ancient world - because they were too valuable to the community to lose. Ok , that's way too much information -- but please enjoy!

Hmm, I'm not an expert but according to Socrates Hephaestus and Athena shared workshops. It's not unusual for some gods to be symbolically associated in pairs after all (much like Aphrodite and Ares- lust and violence- both appeal to man's most base instincts). Hephaestus and Athena were mostly revered by artists and craftsmen- the symbolism is transparent: Hephaestus was the artist's skillful hand, Athena was the sharpened mind, the inspiration, the "Idea/Form". And didn't Athena serve as a mentor to one of Hephaestus' sons? Can't remember the name though. So then it appears that despite what happened the two gods were still on good terms? Or maybe in some versions that didn't happen at all? Huh.

Perhaps either a significant amount of time passed before her mentoring or "Yeah, you're lonely and I'm the only goddess you get along with. These things happen." Considering it sounds like she was able to fend him off, she probably walked away in disgust at his behavior and avoided him for a while, but he showered her with pleas and presents until she glared at him with a "Don't do it again" and they gradually repaired their relationship. Her mentoring his son would probably be a part of that as well as being a chance to sort of be with him without actually being with him, which sounds to me like an adjustment tactic.

In the future you might want to explore some of the myths of Vulcan as the Romans saw him as the same God as Haepheastus. There was some interesting differences. In Roman myth he was raised in the Ocean under the Water where Dolphins where his friends, he was also seen as a God of Bakers and cooks in addition to the usual features, he was also seen as a fertility God. His Flaman (the high Priest basically of his Roman Cult), also presided over rituals to the Goddess Maia. I was really impressed with how you noticed how much of the Gods power and tools came from him. There are also myths of him battling River Gods with fire.

I always found Greek Mythology interesting I set back with a glass of wine and watch these videos. This is one of my favorite KZread Channels thanks for the uploads!!

Of all the gods, Hephaestus is my favorite (sorry Hades... you are still my number 2). He is the underdog of the Olympus who doesn't get appreciated enough. All he wants is love and is working hard as a godly blacksmith. And his workplace is a volcano. Can you get more badass? Despite that one unfortunate event with Athena he is a nice, loyal and hardworking guy. And the fact that he's a handicapped god makes him so much more relatable

Your comment is heartwarming

Hephaestus is definitely my favorite lesser known Greek God of all time. No matter what anyone says. He's absolutely awesome.

I enjoyed this deep dive. Thank You for your time.

This was very enlightening to my knowledge of Greek gods. Hephaestus is the real MVP

To be a member of the greek pantheon is either a curse or a blessing. One shall never get the justice it deserve.

God of fire too

Loved it! Awesome man!

For sure the most underrated god. Makes you wonder, without him could & would the others exist as they did. Well done.

There's also another story with Hephaestus wherein he helped create Athena. Supposedly Zeus had a large headache and Hephaestus obliged by cracking his skull open with an axe/hammer (not killing him though). Out from Zeus's skull sprang Athena

Ur amazing and you deserve anything u get from these fantastic videos

Great video, thank you.

I've always liked hephaestus as a Greek god

I Love to see the Temple of Artemis Artemis is my favorite goddess she’s the coolest goddess ever one day when we event time travel the first thing I’m gonna to do is to go back through time to see the Temple of Artemis 😁

This video explains why, even as a kid, Hephaestus was my favorite of the Greek gods.

I relate to him the most out of all the Greek gods. The others are seemingly too superficial and I didn't like how they treated Hephaestus. He even loved Aphrodite and she really didn't reciprocate that same love for him. He deserves better.

Your channel is treasure of knowledge sir . and I loved every Greek warrior I am learning because of you and your difficult research as this is a mythology topic...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏from India

So lame. 😏😎 Ares: Fuck this son of bitch. *Grabs Eren in the neck and slams him into the ground.* Two guards in the house of Sasha: If you want the part 2 of the fight it already happened here.

I don’t love Hephaestus though. I’m happy for him for finally being able to marry someone who would treat him right. But with what he did to Athena...well it’s the reason why I don’t love him. Yes Poseidon might have lied to him. But that doesn’t excuse Hephaestus attempt to rape her. He should have spoken to Athena first.

Recently finding these they are very good. I don't like the modern corruptions agenda with new super heroes these myths are representing our collective psyche and this for shamanic and human energy integration is a value to me thank you brother.

Loved this video

Love stories like this

Felt so bad for the guy till he spunked on Athena's thigh eww

Hephaestus and Ares are the earliest form of Virgin and Chad That being said, Hephaestus is the only compassionate and emotionally mature Greek God, he doesn't deserve the crappy treatment he gets from the other gods, and I wish he could find a friendlier pantheon to hang out with.

Very nice video!

Ares was gorgeous, but he was also a giant asshole whom no one, not even his dad, liked. Just like war looks pretty and glorious from afar, but absolutely hellish up close. Pretty much the only gods who liked him were his mom, Hera, (begrudgingly so) and Aphrodite with whom he had a genuine connection. As, after all, love and war are very similar concepts.

hephaestus is a god who shows that people appreciated and acknowledged by their achievements, merits and talents. He deserves respect and love because he has helped gods by crafting their desired items and humanity by teaching metalworking and other forms of crafting arts like stonemason like athena and demeter have imparted their knowledge to humanity.

It’s weird, when I listen to the stories of Athena I feel like he was a disgusting miscreant, but now that I’m hearing his story from the start I’m like, “awww, poor guy...”

My bobtailed black cat is called Hephaestus - he's the official Workshop Supervisor when I build LARP & cosplay weapons and armor.

Don't know if it's been said before but Greek mythological objects (weapons, armor, accessories etc.) Is something I'd like to see! Big fan love your work!
