The god of romantic love, Eros, was born from the love of these two. Ares punished Alectryon by turning him into a rooster and making him sing every time the Sun appeared. They laughed so hard at the situation that their laugh seemed eternal.Īfter this happened, the lovers were released and each of them had to go their separate ways. Immediately, Hephaestus was present and summoned all the gods to be present. While they were being intimate, the web of gold threads fell on them and caught them. Then, he told Aphrodite that he was going on a trip.Īres, who was always aware of Hephaestus’ plans, took the opportunity and immediately went to see Aphrodite. He proceeded to leave the net of gold threads on the bed. They were so thin that they weren’t visible, but at the same time, they were extremely resistant. To do this, he designed a fabulous net made of gold threads. The myth of Aphrodite and Ares tells that Hephaestus felt hurt as never before.
Full of indignation, he sought the god of fire and told him everything. The latter saw the lovers among the same sheets in which Aphrodite slept with Hephaestus. Of course, he wasn’t able to tell Aphrodite and Ares that Helios had come out. However, one day, Alectryon, tired of such exhausting daily routine, fell asleep while watching. The relationship between Aphrodite and Ares was just that.Įverything was going well. What wasn’t allowed was to have only one lover and maintain it. They had to keep their romance a secret, so this was truly necessary.įor the Greeks, any god or goddess could have all kinds of love affairs with whoever they wanted. He did this in order to let them know when Helios, the Sun, appeared on the horizon.
Ares was always accompanied by a young man named Alectryon, whose duty was to watch the door. The two lovers took advantage of this situation to love each other until dawn. Hephaestus, her husband, spent every night in his workshop. The two spent a lot of time together until Aphrodite fully reciprocated. He bought her gifts and complimented her constantly to gain her love. Unlike what he did with his other lovers, he decided to win her over. He never bothered to conquer them, he simply made them his own.Īccording to the myth of Aphrodite and Ares, the god of war fell madly in love when he met the goddess of beauty. He also had a weakness for goddesses and women. Unlike Hephaestus, he was very good looking. On the other hand, there was Ares, the god of war, violence, male virility, and defender of the weak. On the contrary, whenever she had the chance, she was unfaithful to him by being with other gods and even mortals. However, she had no interest in the god of fire. He designed beautiful jewelry for her in his workshop. Hephaestus was tirelessly trying to gain Aphrodite’s affection. She hated Hephaestus because he wasn’t beautiful like her. The myth of Aphrodite and Ares tells that the goddess of beauty wasn’t happy about this situation. Then, he put only one condition to do so: that the gods would give him Aphrodite as a wife.
Hera began pleading with Hephaestus to free her. Without realizing it, she was stuck and unable to move. He decided to build a magical throne in his workshop and got Hera to sit in it. Given the humiliating rejection he received from his own mother, he decided to take revenge. In fact, according to the myth of Aphrodite and Ares, when Hephaestus was born, his own mother was annoyed with his ugly looks and expelled him from Olympus. He was also quite an ungrateful creature, which was the complete opposite of Aphrodite.
Hephaestus was the son of Hera and the God of gods, Zeus. Hephaestus was the god of fire, forge, blacksmiths, and artisans and was secretly in love with Aphrodite. Actually, that’s part of the reason why she was so vain. Gods, mortals, or anyone else who saw her were enchanted by her beauty and she knew it. She emerged from the sea and was more beautiful than any other creature. Let’s start off by saying that Aphrodite was the goddess of beauty and sexual love. The myth of Aphrodite and Ares is one of the most interesting in Greek mythology.
