When was Hephaestus greek god of forges born?

Hephaestus was born of Zeus and Hera (along with Ares and Hebe). When Hera layed eyes on Hephaestus, she was so horrified because of his ugliness that she threw him off Olympus, crippling him. Another version of the story says that Zeus threw Hephaestus off Olympus. After Hera saw what a good craftsmen Hephaestus was, she apologized and took him back.
