| ENT_HEPHAESTUS | SRC_HESIOD_THEOGONY | direct attestation | Theogony 927-929: Hera bore Hephaestus alone, without union, in anger at Zeus for producing Athena without her — "outstanding in craftsmanship among the blessed gods"; this contrasts with Homer's version where Hephaestus is son of both Zeus and Hera; Hesiod's parthenogenic version is a key theological variant making Hephaestus Hera's mirror of Athena |
