Why did Hera throw Hephaestus off mount Olympus?
In one legend, I am not sure of it's origin, Hera threw Hephaestus off of Mount Olympus, because she was so shocked of how ugly he was.Another legend, from Homer's The Iliad suggests that Zues threw Hephaestus off of Mount Olympus when Hephaestus tried to help Hera, against Zeus's wishes.
How did Hera throw Hephaestus off mount Olympus?
In some legends it wasn't Hera- it was Zeus. However the story goes that when Hera gave birth Zeus was so angry that the son by his actual wife was so deformed and ugly that he took the baby, in his anger and hurled him down Mount Olympus. How did Hera( or Zeus) through him off? She/ he lifted him up and chucked him. I am guessing that you are talking about when Hephaestus was a baby. Unless you are talking about when he was older and still ugly anf was sent down off Mount Olympus to his forge. In this case Hera was the goddess of Marriage, the goddess of unions in a way. This meant she had special powers in the way that she could manipulate others' feelings. So she manipulated Hephaestus' feelings (and Zeus') and Hephaestus was left in his forge. Hephaestus probably wasn't against this. He prefered to interact with metal rather than people and so he was perfectly happy to be left alone with his creations.

Well, since they're ancient Greek names, it'd be hard to answer, but what their deities and their little stories I can answer.

Hates Hera for making his mother [Leto] give birth to him and his twin sister [Artemis] wherever sun had not shown or on land. Athena-Goddess of wisdom, war-strategy, owls, and olives. Was fully grown out of Zeus's head, after Hephaestus cracked it open. Poseidon and Athena aren't fond of each other because Athena got named after her [Athens] and when Medusa and Poseidon had sex in Athena's temple, she turned Medusa into a hag.

Why did Hera throw Hephaestus off of Mt. Olympus?
Many variations of this myth. Some say Hera through him off Olympus and Zeus covered for her but the general idea is that it is because Hephaestus was not pretty and the Olympian Gods were generally really vain. Meaning that they valued looks, Hephaestus was ugly therefore he was thrown from a mountain. There are different variations of course but this is the one I'm familiar with.
