Hephaestus Mythology Novels & Stories

“I guess. So long as we both remain alert I see no problem in giving you some answers now.” “Well okay then. Firstly, where exactly are we? I’m guessing that its the standard we’re not on Earth anymore situation?” “That guess would be correct. We are, hopefully, somewhere in the Kingdom of Everaya in the Realm known as Hephaestia.” “Hephaestia? Would that be any relation to the Greek god Hephaestus?” “Well look who is smarter than she looks. You are correct. The god Hephaestus created this realm. All realms are created by a god, the humans from your realm managed to get at least that correct.”

“Aphrodite was a goddess and of course, that meant she was naturally beautiful. You will soon find out the family trees in Greek mythology go straight up with very few branches. They loved inbreeding.” The class burst into laughter. I looked over at Christopher who looked mildly uncomfortable to be standing in front of the class. “Hephaestus is believed to have been handicap in some way. How he got that way is something that varies from tale to tale. Some believe he was born that way; others believe the injury he suffered that made him lame was due to his father, Zeus, tossing him out of Mount Olympus after Hephaestus tried to protect his mother, Hera, in a fight.”

He explained. I recalled Charlie once telling me about how Hestia had given up her Olympian seat for her other nephew, Dionysus. She sounded like a really nice goddess who valued family over all else. Bet nephew, Hephaestus, was the one who had been thrown out of Olympus after his mother deemed him too ugly to keep. That is a really cruel and cold-hearted thing to do to a baby. My thoughts came to a halt when I realised Bama was smiling at him, his smile becoming almost as creepy as Mr X's.

Still, they kept watching each other. Zeus was lord of the sky once again, but his wife also bore him three other gods: Ares, the god of war, Hephaestus, the smith-god, forger of weapons, and Eris, goddess of chaos and discord, who shrieks beside Ares in his battle chariot. The rest of Zeus's children were born out of wedlock. Three of them entered the Pantheon later.

It was originally a wedding gift from Hephaestus, the blacksmith god, to the goddess Harmonia for her wedding to the King of Thebes, Cadmus. Hephaestus had caught his wife Aphrodite having an affair with Ares, god of war. Hephaestus claimed that any child produced from this union would be cursed. Harmonia was the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares, and on her wedding day, he gave her the necklace he had crafted and cursed to bring misfortune to anyone who possessed it. Although cursed, the necklace was also said to bring eternal youth and beauty. It was highly coveted by women of the House of Thebes. According to myth, the necklace had the shape of two serpents using their mouths to form a clasp

I am not showing any, especially not to her. “However, given that mommy Minthe was also a long-standing cum bucket for Hades, god of the underworld, home-wrecking whore Minthe claimed that her bastard brat son is the son of Hades. And you know what, my dear…son? This stupid cuckold Hades believed his mistress Minthe.

"Now they're leaves in the wind, with a touch of humidity... As if they were leaves blown by the winds of a storm that's brewing." "Yours have changed too, they still look like a field of flowers, but this time, the flower that catches my eye the most is almost forgotten... I had to look in my archives and also in my safe... It was very difficult, as I only have a single seed that hasn't bloomed." Ghost replied, approaching me. "The flower is called the Flames of Hephaestus. They say they were created from the sparks of God's hammer when it meets the anvil." I turned my face towards Lycan, curious about the information.

Persephone explained. I vaguely recall a footnote in the epic history of the creator of Olympus that he kept bees. I just never thought much of it. It’s not like any other Zeus has kept bees, especially as my father is allergic to their sting. I recall the story well enough. He nearly died when he had just learned he was Zeus and was misusing his gift in the forest but ended up offending a hive of bees. He survived, and I still don’t know if that was a blessing or a curse.

she said as her tears fall continuously. "We've been waiting for you to come home." Ana Mae stared at the man standing behind her real mother. "How silly of I, I forgot to introduce you to everyone," Aphrodite chuckled. "This is your father, Hephaestus the God of fire and blacksmith," she introduced her husband to their daughter. Hephaestus wasn't able to stop himself from crying and hugging his daughter. He rushed towards her and gave her a warm hug which made Ana Mae flattered.

His presence screams of strength and power. “Hello, my children,” he greets me. “Who are you?” I ask in wonder. I’ve never seen a man on fire or glow before. “I’m the God Hephaestus, Father of Cora. May I speak with her? I have missed her dearly,” he tells me. So this is Cora’s Father, and her mother the Moon Goddess herself. No wonder she’s powerful.
