To be fair, he was one of the most useless gods. Despite being the god of war, Athena was a far better strategist and Hercules, a far better warrior. The Roman God Mars was the God of War we all wanted to see. In true Roman style, he's the embodiment of a veteran soldier and a master strategist

This makes me want to practice drawing comics myself. Also I wanna see the story of Hermes stealing from Apollo in comic form!

[@ScarlettDemi]

Love how it's sort of glossed over with a love theme when 1. Aphrodite was not happy about this union as she had wanted to marry Ares, she was either given to Hephaestus as prize or he blackmailed them into giving her. And 2. She wasn't lonely or sad about his absence, she never even wanted Hephaestus. I just dislike how many try to make a villain of Aphrodite by making a victim of Hephaestus.

[@GunnerLegend]

Is this story real?

[@ScarlettDemi]

@@GunnerLegend there’s many different interpretations of the story. But in general it’s Aphrodite being forced to marry Hephaestus while not even desiring him.

I know for a fact the beginning on this isn’t true. Aphrodite never actually loved Hephaestus. Hera forced them to be married, as the other gods could never be jealous of Hephaestus.

Isn't Aphrodite a titan? She was born from Uranus nuts so shouldn't she be considered a titan instead of a god?

[@herpderp5727]

The word "titan" is a term given to Kronos and his brothers by their father after they castrated him. It means "strainer" for they had overstepped their bounds. It does NOT denote a separate race from the gods. The version most attribute to Aphrodite's birth is the one where she was born from Ouranos' severed genitals. There is another version where she is born from Zeus and the sea goddess Dione.

[@lastson5014]

It depends. In some stories she is Zeus daughter

[@charlietownsend2826]

Ok "Uranus nuts" should definitely be a brand.

[@tytheaniman497]

Aphrodite never even wanted to marry Hephaestus. She had no say in it since Zeus was the one who decided it. Ares is the guy she’s meant to be with because she actually loves him and he deserves that love. Everyone judges him for being ruthless even though some of them have done a lot worse(especially Zeus).And in my opinion, Ares is totally badass and hardcore which is why he’s my favorite Greek God.
