some stories say Hera threw him off Olympus because he was ugly and didn't fit in with the gods, and Hephaestus was rescued by a mermaid named Thetis. Hera found out Hephaestus could make jewels,beautiful jewels,and took him back.

other stories say Hera and Zeus were having and argument and since Hephaestus took Heras side, he threw him off Olympus.

some of them say Hephaestus, reject by his mother gave her a throne and she then realized she could not get up. Hephaestus wasn't going to let her go until she arranged a marrige with Athena or aphrodite. she did and he married Aphrodite.

Just adding on to it, but a lot of other stories say that it very well could have been and I quote "he was born that way"
