Why Hephaestus leave mount Olympus?
Hephaestus didn't leave Mount Olympus, his mother, Hera, was so ashamed by his ungodly looks that she threw him straight off of Mount Olympus. When Athena was born from Zeus' mind, Hera's jealousy got the better of her. She thought that, if Zeus could make a child just by brains, so could she. The result was Hephaestus, who is told to be the ugliest god there ever was on Mount Olympus.
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.
Hephaestus, the Greek god of fire and craftsmanship, is often named "the lame god" due to his physical disability; he was said to have been born with a deformity that left him unable to walk properly. Despite this, he is revered as the master blacksmith of the gods, creating magnificent weapons and armor. His name symbolizes resilience and creativity, showing that one's limitations do not define their potential or contributions.
Whom do you think Percy is angrier at Hephaestus or ares?
Percy is likely angrier at Ares than Hephaestus. Ares, the god of war, embodies chaos and violence, which directly impacts Percy and his friends, especially given Ares' role in inciting conflict. Hephaestus, while responsible for crafting weapons, is more of a creator and less directly involved in the emotional turmoil Percy faces. Thus, Percy's frustration is more directed towards Ares for his aggressive nature and the havoc it brings.
