Hephaestus, the Greek god of fire and craftsmanship, was often portrayed as physically weak and deformed, which made him less desirable compared to other gods. His lameness resulted from being thrown from Olympus by his mother, Hera, or, in some versions, by Zeus. This physical imperfection made him vulnerable to ridicule and exclusion from the more glamorous aspects of divine life, highlighting themes of resilience and the value of skill over appearance.
