The fact that Hephaestus isn’t allowed to be angry or cruel or even cunning and ppl prefer to portray him as a soft boy who doesn’t think he deserves love or respect and needs the able bodied beautiful woman to assure him he deserves better is hella ableist.

#especially when that able bodied beautiful woman cheated on him and they divorced #like I want Hephaestus to have a support system #but I want that support system to be more than one person #and to actually be filled with ppl who actually care about him (Charon and Hades and Persephone don’t count yet I’ve seen them in retellings #he had Thetis Eurynome Cabeiro Aetna the Charities and his children #oh and Helios and Dionysus! can’t forget about them!#he doesn’t need Aphrodite and she doesn’t need him #greek mythology #ancient greek mythology #greek pantheon #hephaistos #hephaestus #Aphrodite #hephaestus greek mythology #hephaestus god
