Aglaea: I make out with Hephaestus? He's fine. I kiss him on the nose? He's a mess.
Aglaea: I slap his ass? Doesn't care. But if I hold his hand and kiss his knuckles? He's inconsolable.
Aglaea: Why does simple affection break him? I do not know.

In Hades I it’s your job to get people back together, in Hades II it’s your job to help Hephaestus and Aphrodite go through with the divorce.
Oh my god that would be so funny, imagine if it’s also helping Zeus and Hera divorce? Or it’s bringing Hephaestus and Aglaia together? Or help Hera and Pasithea/Angelos reconcile? That would be interesting.

I think the reason why Ares x Aphrodite is portrayed not a healthy couple in modern media bec they dont have a lot of myths together??? They only myth they have is that golden net incident. And Aphrodite curse Eos for sleeping with Ares. And also where Ares turn into a boar and kill Adonis bec he is jealous (there are other version who kill Adonis, the other version is either Artemis or Apollo who kill adonis, or its just an ordinary boar who kill him). Or maybe they just assume since Ares is war so hes bad and mistreat Aphrodite 🫤 ...
Or I can be wrong do you know if they have other myths together aside from the one I mentioned above?? (I'm so sorry English is not my first language, I hope you understand what I mean).
I don't mind people who prefer Hephaestus x Aphrodite but I wish Hephaestus marriage with Aglaia - his 2nd wife - is more popular ☹️ Hephaestus is so much more happier with her and and they have 4 daughters. They are also one of my favorite greek myth couples together with Ares x Aphrodite and Dionysus x Aridane.
I like this approach!
Personally I thought that this toxicity was derived from the diversity of their natures. Most people don't think that Love and War can coexist in harmony, so they portray this couple in a bad light.
Afther reading your question I straightly went to look for other possible myths around these two, and to be honest I didn't find anything specific. I searched on theoi.com and I didn't land on anything different rather than those myths you referred above.
You made me question myself soldier🤭
But still, I disagree with the way both of them are depicted in modern tellings.
Hephaestus and Aglaia are soulmates! I believe that Aphrodite wasn't for him, she was more dedicated to Ares. But still, both Hephaestus and Aphrodite found happiness in the end.
Dionysus and Ariadne... What can I say? He took her under his protection after Theseus abandoned her. But still it was a trickery ever since Dionysus threatened Theseus to leave her, but imagine how much he wanted her if he did something like that☺️
Thanks for the question amd sorry for the late reply! 😅🤗

New Demigod Cabin: The Charites (Graces)
The Charites (Roman Gratiae-Graces) are a trio of goddesses of beauty, fun, happiness, and festivities. The elder Charites are daughters of Zeus and the Oceanid Eurynome, and are part of Aphrodite's retinue. The leader, Aglaia (glory, radiance), is also known as Charis (grace) and Cale/Calleis (beauty) and is the second wife of Hephaestus. She sometimes acts as Aphrodite's messenger. Her sisters are Thalia (abundance, banquets) and Euphrosyne (joy, cheer).
The Charites' demigod children have spread beauty and joy in the world throughout history, either through their own actions or by serving as inspiration for others. They are attractive and tend to have great artistic qualities. These qualities make them frequent companions of demigod children of the Muses, as well as Apollo and Aphrodite.
Historical Demigods
Aglaia: Edith Tolkien, Queen Elisabeth I, Gloria Swanson
Euphrosyne: Beethoven, George W. Joy, Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun
Thalia: King Ludwig I of Bavaria, Lord Mayor Henry Picard, Clara Peeters

It’s interesting how Hera refuses to divorce Zeus no matter how much he cheats but the millisecond Hephaestus found out Aphrodite cheated he divorced her. Learning from your parents flaws and mistakes to heal generational trauma me thinks.
