HEPHAESTUS'S revenge
Thrown off of Mt. Olympus as a child, Hephaestus sought his revenge upon Hera. As crafty as he was Hephaestus constituted a throne of which Hera could not oppose. Concealed from the ex-mother goddess was the trap that bitter Hephaestus had set. For once Hera set herself upon the thrown she would surely be trapped by invisible chains and could not be freed but by he whom made the chair. The Olympians fled to Hera's side but all aid was useless against Hephaestus's creation. In desperation they begged the god of wine, Dionysus, to deeply intoxicate Hephaestus in order to surely convince him to free Hera; success a must, and succeed he did. Onward rode Hephaestus to Mt. Olympus, the place of his unfortunate undoing, upon a donkey provided by Dionysus. An additional need to to his state of intoxication. Agreeing to free Hera only if he could have Athena as his bride, the Olympians gave in to his demands. As a reward of freeing Hera they built him a temple on Mt. Olympus as well as Hera gifting him with a volcano near Mt. Olympus in which he could build his forges.
