Hephaestus is probably the most blessed and most unfortunate god in Greek mythology.
Why is he unlucky, despite being the God of Fire, the Lord God and the son of his wife, and the 12 Olympians?
Let's take a look around that.
Everyone wanted to be a handsome guy
Hephaestus was born to Zeus, the main character and god of Greek mythology, and Hera, his wife.
Hella is angry and tries to kill Zeus's flirtatious woman and her child, but Hephaestus would have been lucky without it.
However, it was Hephaestus who actually bought the wrath of Hera the most.
He was a deformity.
A spatula is a mass of pride. Hella throws him into the sea trying to make Hephaestus look like a deformity. It's an episode that explains why spatulas aren't popular.
No one is as pitiful as a child who is not loved by his mother.
It can be said that the modern society is an appearance-oriented society that is said to be "but limited to good-looking men!" Due to the development of SNS and the like, but it has been the case since long ago. Twink is justice! Twink is Justice! Take a bath with good-looking bird droppings! !! !!
I don't know if Hephaestus thought so.
He is the god of fire and is red if he goes with the squadron. He must be the main character!
In fact, Hephaestus is very strong. He has the power to dry the river itself in an instant, and he is good at blacksmithing. Hephaestus also makes Athena's Aegis shield and Zeus's strongest weapon. He is Ron Berg when he goes on Dai's great adventure.
The god of beauty
Hephaestus is married to Venus, the god of beauty. One theory is that Hera ordered Venus to be the wife of her own son for her own good looks.
It was supposed to be a transcendental victorious group with a wife of the main god and his wife, the god of fire, the most beautiful goddess in the world, and the wife of beauty itself.
Unfortunately, the goddess of beauty has an affair. She has an affair. A pretty woman has an affair. I can't resist that reality. Even God does. ..
Venus's affair was only Hephaestus' younger brother. Starting with Ares (Mars), Hermes and Apollo. At the end of the day, he had a child with a human being, and that child was Aeneas, the ancestor of Romulus, the ancestor of Rome.
Hephaestus, the god of fire, who could not get the love of his mother or his wife.
Although he was born and blessed with abilities, he lacked only one element of good-looking guys. It was just that ...
If Haruki Murakami, a major contemporary Japanese writer, heard this story, he would probably say it like this.
"That's a very sad story."
