Thank you all for watching our most ambitious project yet! We hope you enjoyed it and learned a little something about life along the way :) Oh, and did you spot the 2 special guest stars and the red solo cup? 👀
@spaceghost Why be so mean for no reason? Attacking people is not the way to change a mind. Attacking causes bitterness and is a disease. If corrections are to be made you can say so without being like that. Honor yourself better please. How can anyone take you seriously unless you come into this in a way that contributes to conversation instead of argument and anger.
Athena was on the right track, it speaks volumes when War and Lust did nothing for a man whose loneliness can only be quenched by cracking up a cold one with the bois.
This story makes Hephaestus sound like an absolute badass and a likable guy at that. Dionysus also taught all the gods that being a friend to your opponent gives you a better chance of achieving your goals than to manipulate, seduce, or threaten them.
@@Volundur9567 There are alternate stories that say they kind of liked each other but Athena could not lose her virginity so, rejection was had in the midst of it all. Erichtoneous was born out of Hephaustus' well, substance, that fell into Gaia.

I like how Hephaestus story was basically a abandonment story. Focusing on a woman's wrong intentions for a baby. Then neglecting the baby. Then the baby turned to man comes for revenge. As a child given up by his mom, I really enjoyed this story. The theme of the story really resonates with me. Hephaestus my favorite god.
Yes, although I sometimes feel bad for her, stories like this just proves that Hera is kind of a huge b*ch and she and Zeus truly deserve to be trapped with eachother.
*Dionysus and his Satyr friends leading Hephaestus down the stairs of Olympus's courtyard using a donkey* Hera: How DARE you offend me with such audacity! Dionysus: Uno reverse card.
There’s a lot of powerful symbolism with Hephaestus when you dig deeper and give it some thought. His whole life story can be very neatly summarized with and old Indian proverb; once the house is built, the carpenter is forgotten. And it gets even more interesting when you compare him to his effective rival in the Greek pantheon, Ares. Hephaestus is physically unattractive, but he’s kind and works hard to make things for those who show him kindness, much like how craftsmen of all kinds do work that doesn’t seem fun, or enjoyable and which few would try to follow in their footsteps, but their actions improve the lives of everyone at the cost of little more than time. Ares, on the other hand, Is often regarded as being very handsome, much like how promises of honor, glory, fame, and fortune can make war and conquest seem enticing to young men, only for them to find out too late that, Just like Ares himself, it takes a great toll and offers very little to those who commit themselves to it. The saddest part is embodied by Aphrodite’s relationship with the two of them. By all right Hephaestus is the one who’s most deserving of a happy life, but the pleasures he works hard to be deserving of are claimed by Ares, who simply strolls in and takes what is effectively the fruits of labors he never contributed to.
I know these animated episodes probably take much more effort than normal, but honestly they’re one of the coolest things I’ve seen on TH-cam. Each one stands out so much and is incredibly memorable - and I always look forward to when you announce the next one. Keep it up 👍
Lol I’ve always heard that Hera changed her appearance to get Zeus to sleep with her and when Hephaestus was born Zeus believing Hera had cheated on him threw the baby off Olympus. Hera then changed her form to prove that Hephaestus was Zeus’s son. But the fall from Olympus had deformed Hephaestus so badly that his immortal body couldn’t regenerate so he was left scarred and deformed
that's wild! there is another well known variant of Hephaestus's origins where he's both Zeus and Hera's son and a perfectly normal god. The bigger twist comes when he helps Hera after Zeus punishes her for trying to kill Heracles, then Zeus punishes him by throwing him off Mt. Olympus and THAT is how he gets crippled. I don't like that version nearly as much but still pretty entertaining :)
@@JonSolo the version I heard was hera made him all on her own just because and I’m fact he was the one who cracked Athena out of she’s head anyways hera makes kid she thinks he’s way too weird and throws him off crippling him and then he saves her from Zeus later on and gets thrown again making it all worse
Not the only revenge story of Hephaetus. He caught Aphrodite cheating on him with Ares. So he built an invisible net on their bed to catch the two in the act. Poseidon ended up convincing him to release the pair via a refund of the dowry he paid for Aphrodite's hand.
There’s another “Revenge of Hephaestus” that’s my favorite myth. It’s when Hephaestus finally had it with Aphrodite cheating on him with Ares all the time, and enacting an awesome (and hilarious) plan to not only catch them in the act, but humiliate them both in front of all the other Olympians. I just love imagining the look on their faces when they were caught and the reactions of the other gods (especially Hermes and Dionysus) when they came in to see what was going on!
yeah I dont get the hate for Aphrodite and Ares here she never wanted to marry him and was forced onto him you cant force romance if someone doesnt love you they dont you cant force them to be with you whatever heart break Hephaestus suffered was his own making staying with someone that had no affection for him married or not
@@durrangodsgrief6503 that was more of Zeus because he wanted to reward Hephaestus and Aphrodite was causing conflict among the Gods so he figured "two birds, one stone" and wed her to him in hopes of keeping a balance. (It didn't work very well but I'll at least give him props for trying to keep it together) Plus, I find it hard to take Aphrodite seriously with how petty and cruel she is towards mortal women for things other people said or just for being above average in attractiveness. Not to mention she complains about how Hephaestus looks (not even that bad from the statues) but yet she gets ran through the pantheon and countless humans while making a woman fall in love with a bull. I can't really feel bad for her as Hephaestus never made her do something she didn't like a side from accepting the marriage like every other God in the pantheon would have done.
@@benzelwasington4059 yeah because me saying it's bad to try and force someone into a relationship with a Person their not attracted to is a bad thing it's not like she chose to marry him and cheated no shes forced to and in some version he wants to marry her so what ever pain he has is of his own making man or woman forcing a relationship is bad
I think Hephaestus is one of my favorites as he's really relatable. I don't have problems with my mother but I do have a disability and I always saw him as a god to the disabled and the disfigured
Hera makes much more sense as just being malevolent rather than being genuinely mad at Zeus for cheating. I imagine she likes Zeus cheating on her to give her excuses to mess with people. She never gets mad at Zeus, always leaves people alone after traumatizing them with no explanation or wanting to change their minds, never warns people not to do adultery with Zeus, and sometimes she is just mean to people completely unrelated to cheating. Zeus only really shows an interest in making his children powerful and have fulfilling legacies anyway, not their day-to-day happiness Zeus and Hera are a perfect couple. Their relationship just works on a fundamental level.
This is one of the best of your videos, Jon! Honestly, so well written, throroughly explained, convincingly acted, perfectly illustrated . . . you've outdone yourself! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is one of my favorite Greek myths too. After seeing so many innocent characters get trashed by the gods it's fun to hear a story about one of them getting what they deserve.
What an absolutely brilliant episode. Talk about saving the best till last. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Not just your retelling of the story, but also all the fantastic little historically accurate and witty details incorporated into the artwork - and make no mistake, that animation was art. Absolutely superb. I hope 2023 is the best ever year for you, your wife, your team, and your glorious dogs. Thank you for all the videos you've made in 2022. They're always appreciated.
I like this story. It proves what one can accomplish with the right drive, even if it might be pain and suffering. And at the end, Hephaestus kept using his knowledge to improve the life of himself and those around him. I really feel like this should be an inspiration for everyone that wants to achieve great things.
2:27 found them! And _that's_ why you shouldn't be mean to ugly people (who don't deserve it). You never know when they might tie you down to a fancy throne 😛
Hera is always jealous, but I think it goes deeper. She must feel insecure and has convinced herself she needs Zeus' respect to be whole. So she doesn't respect herself and maybe secretly feels she is unworthy of love or undeserving somehow (if you've ever felt jealous, you know). So Hephaestus was all this, whether true or not, manifest. But in the end, we learn that what Hephaestus really inherited was Hera's intelligence and cleverness and, being the goddess of motherhood, her kindness and devotion and he was right in front of her to see. Yet she still can't find her confidence, her own respect in the true value for that in herself whether anyone else does or not. Sad.
This was my first video of yours. I've been working away on a project, so I would surprised as the last segment came back on. I was nearly laughing (though it's late so quiet lol), and this was quite refreshing to see from a creator. I also agree, Hephaestus is also my comfort god and my fav. I had the fun of playing in a D&D-like game and we encountered a depressed, retired blacksmith that we eventually befriended and was revealed to be him. It was an awesome couple of months during that campaign lol. Also Subcribing, looking forward to what you'll make next
Hephaestus can also be called the of revenge every time someone wrongs him he always pay it back many times over Man , Beast , or God doesn't matter when he's angry someone's gonna suffer. Should this make him a top candidate for most feared or powerful God
@@PattyMarshall-l8v I'm so sorry you've been and go through all of that as well. I hope the best for you in all aspects of life and hope that you find continual happiness wherever you can.
wow, i thought i knew enough about the smithing gods story, but these deeper details really opened my eyes to probably one of the top 5 saddest Greek Myths imo
I prefer the story where Zeus tied Hera over the pit of Chaos for her attempted rebellion. None of the gods dared to free her, except for Hephaestus, who sneaked his way down to Tartarus and freed his mother from certain obliteration. Falling into Chaos would supposedly utterly destroy any being, immortal or not, and it was then that Hera finally acknowledged her son and gave him the love and respect he deserves
Funny. In highschool, they gave us a project where we should take a pic of ourselves as greek gods. I chose Hephaestus back then since he seems so cool for me
Regards! This is one of the best episodes on the channel! I love the way you approached the myth. I'm curious as to which original source in particular you drew inspiration from. I would love to check it out.
Always love seeing your content on Greco-Roman deities and even Egyptian mythology but it'd definitely be great to see a messed up origins series on more eastern deities like Vishnu or Ahura Mazda 👏
I love these animated messed up orgins, also Did you ever make a part 6 for God of war ragnarok. I can't wait to see you get to some of the best parts still.
It is my favorite Greek tale that you have brought up. The forgiveness of Hera from Hephaestus is actually the way of getting out from his childhood of abandonment and pain. 🌈
Hephaestus is definitely the guy to know in Olympus Zeus maybe the king but Hephaestus is the man with the hookups and get you what you need to get the job done
Thanks to you and the other artists who created this! As a side note, I've always found it interesting that when given a chance to imagine omnipotent beings with powers almost beyond comprehension, the Greeks and Romans promptly created.... Super-powered humans. Because of course they did.
In most stories I’ve seen, Hephaestus is the one who opens Zeus’ head and then the same people who said that go on to say that Hephaestus was born because Hera was jealous of Zeus because “he made Athena by himself” 😡😡😡, so thank you for providing me with an alternative to that contradiction 👍
I like this. At present I'm in the process of writing out a story about Hephaestus set before and after Jason claims the Golden Fleece. And I'm keeping it as close as possible to the original legends, with changes consistent with legend. As an example, Hephaestus's donkey in my story is a large bronze automaton that's fully mobile and can travel on land and sea and contains a portable forge and furnace. And the heroes of my story are Hephaestus and one of his grandsons. I'm still in the process of writing it out
Okay I apparently had this video already watched and saw the hidden segment that made me laugh because I was waiting for the video only to see your closing
Thank you all for watching our most ambitious project yet! We hope you enjoyed it and learned a little something about life along the way :)
Oh, and did you spot the 2 special guest stars and the red solo cup? 👀
First comment! THIRD TIME!!!
Great job Jon keep up the great work as you usually do

Hi 👋
Dionysus is legit the hero of this story.
Dionysus is for the homies
Athena was on the right track, it speaks volumes when War and Lust did nothing for a man whose loneliness can only be quenched by cracking up a cold one with the bois.
Love that all he needed was a true friend to change his mind
Dionysus is truly in the top 5 of my favorite gods.
Poor man just needed therapy. Felt bad for the guy.
This story makes Hephaestus sound like an absolute badass and a likable guy at that. Dionysus also taught all the gods that being a friend to your opponent gives you a better chance of achieving your goals than to manipulate, seduce, or threaten them.
“The best way to defeat your enemy is to make them your friend.”

He still attempted to 🍇 Athena.
he was the most likeable god. He was the GOAT.

A hard-working brilliant craftsman.
This needs a sequel. Hephaestus' revenge on Aphrodite and Ares.
I would, but i think it would get demonetized!
There kinda is, actually! Look up "Aphrodite's Affair" by OSP
@@LuinTathren LOL!!!!
16:24 considering how bored Aphrodite looks here, maybe we will get that video in future.
Exactly and maybe a third since in the end he marries a non toxic goddess that loved him for him
I never thought I would say this, but Hera and Zeus deserve each other.
Lol well said
Yes, although I sometimes feel bad for her, stories like this just proves that Hera is kind of a huge b*ch and she and Zeus truly deserve to be trapped with eachother.
Honestly, the Gods are assholes and Kratos and Perseus had every right to try and take them down ...

Excellent video as always. Somehow this is the first animated video of yours that I've seen, It was really good. See you in the new year, Jon!

This was honestly a good story plus the animation to this heighten it so much good shit dude.
I don't think I saw the Cinderella one at 0:29. Was it posted somewhere other than this channel?
Funny. In highschool, they gave us a project where we should take a pic of ourselves as greek gods. I chose Hephaestus back then since he seems so cool for me

I’m so happy you’re still doing videos dude I love your voice and how you just go about your videos 😅
Keep up the good work
Always love seeing your content on Greco-Roman deities and even Egyptian mythology but it'd definitely be great to see a messed up origins series on more eastern deities like Vishnu or Ahura Mazda 👏
Awesome episode. My best regards to all the artists that painted an amazing picture on Hephaestus’ episode and looking forward to seeing more!
The quality is amazing, subscribed!
Yes my favorite god after not being on your channel for so long yes yes yes
Your ending bit made me laugh way to loud while at work. Thank you 😂
This is the best episode, man! well done!
I love these animated messed up orgins, also Did you ever make a part 6 for God of war ragnarok. I can't wait to see you get to some of the best parts still.
I am loving this new series. It has been whimsical to watch and hear. That's how good is that I'm going to use the word whimsical.
That was amazing, I'm so grateful to you all.... You have grown up good 👍💎
It's animated now?? Oh my god, sub for life
When you realize Hephaestus has a consanguinity score of 1:
Bro, Hephaestus you have two mothers. The nymphs who raised and loved you!

It is my favorite Greek tale that you have brought up. The forgiveness of Hera from Hephaestus is actually the way of getting out from his childhood of abandonment and pain. 🌈
Love this style of video
Thanks for the vid man. I see how much effort you put in your vid’s .
Hephaestus is definitely the guy to know in Olympus Zeus maybe the king but Hephaestus is the man with the hookups and get you what you need to get the job done

I love your videos^^
This story was so well told, I very much enjoyed this.

I like this. At present I'm in the process of writing out a story about Hephaestus set before and after Jason claims the Golden Fleece. And I'm keeping it as close as possible to the original legends, with changes consistent with legend.
As an example, Hephaestus's donkey in my story is a large bronze automaton that's fully mobile and can travel on land and sea and contains a portable forge and furnace.
And the heroes of my story are Hephaestus and one of his grandsons.
I'm still in the process of writing it out
You should’ve dimmed the lights. I love bonding with my favorite TH-camrs.
😏
When you said should I dim the lights to make this more intimate I immediately vocally said no
Okay I apparently had this video already watched and saw the hidden segment that made me laugh because I was waiting for the video only to see your closing
