318-Greek Mythology: Sad Lad

Hephaestus has his day

Who is the smith god of Olympus? Why is he married to Aphrodite, and why can't he catch a break? This week, it's all about Hephaestus and his journey of self discovery where he (hopefully) doesn't fall off a mountain. Again.

The creature is the Sea Hare. It's a hare that lives in the sea and also is relentlessly vicious.
