MYTHOLOGY Mythology of Limnos East Aegean Greek Islands Greece

According to mythology, Hephaestus, the god of fire and iron, fell onto Mount Mosichlos where he lived in exile after his father Zeus cast him out of the gods' residence on Mount Olympus.

There he built his workshop and taught his art to the Sinties, the island's first settlers.

There are other myths connected to the history of Limnos, such as the story of King Thoa. This myth recounts the history of Limnos when it was settled by the Minoans. Thoa, King of Limnos and son of god Dionysos and Ariadne, married Myrina and had a daughter called Ipsipili.

During Thoa’s rule, native women of Limnos stopped worshipping Aphrodite. The irked goddess punished them by making their bodies emit a bad smell. Then their husbands, could not bear to come near them anymore so, all wedded women of Limnos became so angry that killed both their husbands and sons and threw their bodies into the sea.
