Several explanations have been advanced (see Garland 1995:61–62). Some interpreters have proposed that Hephaestus’s role as a magician may explain his defect, since there are many cases in which deformed or disabled persons have special talents (Delcourt 1957:110–36; see also Buxton: 27–30). Others have suggested that Hephaestus is a fire demon, and so he is depicted as deformed for apotropaic reasons (Faraone 1992:134, as cited by Garland 1995:62; Rose: 26). Garland believes that the answer may be more straightforward: “[H]is crippled condition conforms to an authentic social reality, metal-working being one of the few professions available to the lame” (Garland 1995:62).
In order to arouse laughter” (Heliogab. 3, as cited by Garland 1995:85–86). Of course, the mockery of such individuals also took place outside of convivial settings. Homer gives us the example of Thersites, who is described in most unflattering terms: “This was the ugliest man who came beneath Ilion. 217–19; translation by Lattimore). 225–42) and is roundly beaten by Odysseus. 270) at Thersites’ expense. In late republican and early imperial Rome, deformed individuals emerged as a form of personal entertainment.
In a scene that occurs at the end of Iliad 1, Hephaestus attempts to defuse tension between Zeus and Hera by playing the part of the wine steward at an Olympian feast. The gods respond to his action with laughter: “But among the blessed immortals uncontrollable laughter went up as they saw Hephaistos bustling about the palace” (Hom. Il. 599–600; translation by Lattimore). According to Walter Burkert (168) and Christopher G. Brown (287), because Hephaestus intended to provoke this laughter, it should be understood as a genial and light-hearted moment: the gods laugh with Hephaestus rather than at him.
