So....
Mallli_kite:
I believe this is an appropriate moment to close my eyes, plug my ears, and sing LALALALALALALALALA very, very loudly.
Care to join me?

The version I heard was Poseidon cleft Zeus' head, and Hephaestus was born later when Hera got jealous that Zeus had a kid on his own and decided to have a kid by herself. Then she was all "damn, this baby's ugly" and threw him off Olympus.
Guido Sarducci:
I thought Haephestus got thrown off Olympus. Lot of throwing of bodies off of Olympus going on...
Mallli_kite:
Yes, Hephaetus was thrown out, but he was still an Olympian god, the god of smiths and inventors and crafts. He had a workshop under a volcano, and he made various magical things (Aphrodite's girdle and, I think, Zeus's thunderbolts). He occasionally returned to Olympus.

Wikipedia has a pretty good synopsis. Most of my books are in storage now -- I was big on the myths when I was a teenager.

Yeah, that's who Hera threw off.
