Eros! The god of loveā¤ļøš«
So true!! Donāt forget his marriage to Aphrodite as well. Of course the real asshole in that situation is Zeus, because he forced her to marry him. That being said, it couldnāt have been easy on Hephaestus. By the time we get to God Games, heās completely given up on their marriage. Even the other Gods no longer recognise them as a pair, Athena refers to Ares as Aphroditeās lover in front of everyone. That has to have stung.
Poor Hephaestus. Abandoned by his family, rejected by his wife - itās no wonder he hides away in his workshop with only his machines to keep him company, valuing trust above all elseā¦
I think it's so clever the way Athena plays into Hephaestus's own issues in convincing him to let Odysseus go, because he first identifies himself with the crew, sacrificed, cast aside, but Athena reframes it to make him identify with Odysseus, who was betrayed by his crew, the people he was supposed to trust, which plays into his emotions surrounding his own toss from mount Olympus. Then she puts Odysseus into a sphere with people who love him, who want to build a future with him, implying that those that are betrayed also still have people in their corner, people who love them; that Hephaestus has people that love him too. It's so fun how much thought is put into each brief interaction in God Games
