Hera wanted Hephaestus back on Mount Olympus because he was her son and she desired to have him near her, despite having cast him out due to his physical deformities. His skills as a master craftsman were also essential for the gods, as he created their weapons and palaces. Bringing him back allowed her to restore family ties and benefit from his talents, reinforcing the importance of his role among the deities.

Why was Hephaestus crippled?

There are several answers regarding this topic. (1) Hephaestus was thrown from Olympus by his mother, Hera, when she saw his unsightly face. As he fell, he was crippled by a ledge or was crippled by the landing. (2) Hephaestus was crippled in his forges. When his mother, Hera, saw him as a cripple, she was disgusted. Repulsed, she threw her son (disowning him in the process) from Olympus. All of the stories agree on what happens next: When Hephaestus lands in the ocean, the ocean beings cared for him for many months - and possibly years. Some time during that time, he sought revenge on his hateful mother. He sent her a golden throne. She, being extremely obsessed with perfection, loved automatically. However, when she sat upon it, she found herself unable to get up. Hephaestus had designed it to trap her. The other Olympians realised what had happened and begged Hephaestus to return and free her. Eveventually, Dionysus (the God of Wine) sought out the spiteful Hephaestus and rendered him drunk. He then brought the unconcious God back to Olympus where he realised his mother. Before he had a chance to leave, Zeus (his father) asked him to stay and work in his forges again. Hephaestus agreed, but was always quite cold towards Hera who acted the same in return.

Hera was born on the island of Samos. She was a daughter of the Titans, Cronus and Rhea. She was swallowed whole by her father when she was born. The same as all her brothers and sisters. Then Zeus was born. He made his father spit his siblings back up. They then overthrew their father and went to live on Mount Olympus.


Who was the Greek god Hephaestus?

Hephaestus was the god of technology, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, blacksmiths, metals, metallurgy, fire, and volcanoes. He is among the twelve Olympian Gods and is the son of Zeus in Hera (although in some versions of Greek mythology, Hera was said to have given birth to him without a male partner). He has dark hair, and was said to be lame, crippled, and ugly, and walked with the aid of a stick.Hephaestus, according to Greek mythology, was thrown off Olympus by Zeus because he had taken Hera's side in an argument between Zeus and Hera. He fell for nine days and nights and landed on the island of Lemnos. However, other versions say that Hera threw Hephaestus off of Olympus because she was ashamed by his ugliness, and that he fell for only one day. After he fell to Lemnos, Hephaestus was brought up by a non-Olympian goddess and became a master craftsman. The Olympians later on realized his skill, and he returned to Olympus.But because Hera repelled Hephaestus, he cleverly crafted a golden chariot for revenge, which he then gifted to Hera. Hera could not escape after settling on the seat, and was stuck. Several gods begged Hephaestus to free Hera; however, he refused and sent them away with his fire. Finally, a god named Dionysus, the god of vegetation and wine, made Hephaestus drunk. Once he was intoxicated, Dionysus led him to Olympus on the back of a mule. Yet Hephaestus still refused to free Hera until he was given either Athena or Aphrodite as a wife. After being rewarded Aphrodite, he freed Hera. Soon after Hephaestus and Aphrodite's marriage, Hephaestus found that his wife had been committing adultery, along with Ares as her partner. He then revealed the couple to the other Olympian gods, much to their laughter.Hephaestus crafted stunning divine works of art for all of the gods, which are all relevant to their myths and attributed objects.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Most of this is true (well that's what I believe), but I just wanted to give you what I learned about Hephaestus, although I do not want to delete this person's hard work and waste all the time, effort, and energy he put in this. So this is what I learned ( and it might be the same as his although with a few minor changes).Hephaestus is the god of technology, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, blacksmiths, metals, metallurgy, and fire. He was the son of Zeus and Hera and was among the 14 Olympian "great" gods. He has black hair and was boring, ugly, he was nice, but he just wasn't pleasant or fun to be with. One day, Zeus and Hera were in an argument and Hephaestus took Hera's side, so Zeus, in his anger hit Hephaestus with such a blow that he fell for three days and nights and soon landed on the island of Lemnos. He then was brought up by nymphs and became a master craftsman. The Olympians soon realized his skill and he was welcomed back to Olympus


What was the birth story of Hephaestus?

His mother, Hera, was surprised that Zeus "gave birth to" Athena and Dionysus on his own. She instantly gave birth to Hephaestus. But he was so ugly, she threw him off Mt. Olympus.( some stories say that Zeus threw him off because he sided with Hera in an argument) He was then found and nursed back to health by Thetis, a sea nymph. He got his revenge by making a throne and when Hera sat in it she was captured in it. The other gods then persuaded him to let her go by offering Aphrodite in marrige. Since she was so beautiful, he agreed.
