  • According to most versions of mythology, Hephaestus' consort is Aphrodite, who is unfaithful to Hephaestus with a number of gods and mortals, including Ares, the god of war.
  • However, in Book XVIII of Homer's Iliad, the consort of Hephaestus is a lesser Aphrodite, Charis ("the grace") or Aglaia ("the glorious") – the youngest of the Graces, as Hesiod calls her.

  • Eventually, through Helios(all-seeing Sun), Hephaestus found out Aphrodite’s affair and designed an ambush.
  • While Aphrodite and Ares are together in bed, Hephaestus caught them with an invisible, unbreakable chain and brought them to Olympus to shame them in front of the other gods for punishment.
  • However, the gods just laughed at them, and Poseidon persuaded Hephaestus to let them free in return for a guarantee that Ares would pay the fine.
