Mother and Son

nah, still looks good in those robes
The Olympians in all their glory
There’s no actual evidence that Aphrodite was forced to marry Hephaestus, the whole “contest for Aphrodite’s hand in order to free Hera” thing is a weak modern theory that got popular for whatever reason. It’s actually was more narratively interesting that Aphrodite and Hephaestus agreed on an arranged marriage but it didn’t work out.
Black smith of the gods; Hêphaistos, famed for inventions for the gods. Strong, whiled, and bright as fire — I thank you for the inventions you gave, the very fire in flames and smithing.
Strongly bright Hêlios, personification of the bright and sunny sun. Forever a guard of oaths I call to you, from the earth to the heavens, hear, golden Titan, whose eternal eye with matchless sight illumines all the sky. Listen to my prayer and praise for thy, I thank. Thank you all mighty Hêlios for the sun, seasons, and keeping those true to their oath.
Hephaestus is such an under appreciated god in modern times, I imagine because people only associate him with blacksmithing and forges. I propose we all file ‘disability’ and ‘working class people’ under his domain as well.
