Ares is the god of war and his constant companion is his sister Eris spirt of strife, discord, envy, and pain. Eris is the one who started the Trojan War with her golden apple of discord. Ares and Eris rush into battle not caring who wins or loses. They fight where the battle is hottest and Eris throws her apple into the crowd and all the soldiers rush to have it. When Eris throws her apple she starts wars. When she throws her apple she turns friends into enemies. Hephaestus is the god of the blacksmith's fire and he crafts stone in metals in his volcano work shop. When he was younger his father Zeus through him off Olympus in anger because he sided with Hera on an argument. He hurtled for days and nights and landed with a thud on an island. Gentle Calypso tended to his wounds until he was strong enough to go back to Olympus. Ever since he walked with a glitch and he built himself to gold robots to help him walk. When Aphrodite came to Olympus Zeus promised her hand in marriage to Hephaestus although she wanted Ares. Hephaestus caught the two in an affair and crafts her fine jewelry to win her heart.
