Hēphaistos is the son of Hēra alone in most myths. She was enraged that Zeus was giving birth on his own (Dionysos, Athēna,...) so she did the same. When she saw her child was misshapen (he wa slame on one leg) she threw him off Olympos. Later he tricked Hēra and caught her in a net, only letting her out if she allowed him to return to Olympos and assume his place as Olympian.
