As the god of fire and Metallurgy, it's only natural that Hephaestus' life would be hard. His Father and mother cast him out of Olympus, his wife has an affair in his marital bed, and his crippled look is often the brunt of all the immortal jokes. In this episode we go through his most famous tales, including the trap which ensnares Ares and Aphrodite in their lovers' embrace. We finish this episode with the in depth story of Aeschylus' play Oresteia.
