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. Later on, Hephaestus built a throne chair for Hera that had a trap in it. When she sat in it her arms and legs were shackled in and she was stuck! Hephaestus left her there for a while before freeing her (legend has that Zeus had to threaten or beg Hephaestus to release Hera).
