NOTES ON HOMER'S PANTHEON AND GENEALOGY OF THE GODS:

A number of important gods are not mentioned in either the Iliad or the Odyssey. These include Hestia (although the poet is most likely alluding to her when he describes Hera as the eldest daughter of Kronos, i.e. implying he knows of the younger daughters as well), Eros (except perhaps as himeros on the girdle of Aphrodite), Prometheus, Triton, Pan, the Satyrs, the Kouretes (Curetes), Selene (the Moon), Nemesis, and Hekate (however the masculine form of her name, hekatos, is a common epithet for Apollon).

He spoke, nor failed to persuade the goddess Hera of the white arms, and she swore as he commanded, and called b their names on all those gods who live beneath the Pit, and who are called Titenes.

N.B. The story of the adultery of Aphrodite is told at a feast by the bard Demodokos and so is not concurrent with the events of the Odyssey. It seems to suggest that the couple were afterwards divorced or their marriage annulled (see Hephaistos below.) In the Iliad as well as Hesiod's Theogony, Aphrodite's consort is Ares, and Hephaistos' wife is one of the Kharites.

N.B. Hephaistos is the son of both Zeus and Hera in the Odyssey, and not of Hera alone as in Hesiod's Theogony. In the words of Hephaistos himself says: "I am a cripple from my birth; yet for that my two parents (tokêe duô) are to blame, no one else at all, and I wish they had never begotten me." He further contrasts himself with his (full) brother Ares: "he is handsome and sound-footed and I am a cripple." Odyssey 8.310ff
In the Iliad Hephaistos' wife is Kharis. In the Odyssey a bard named Demodokos tells the tale of Hephaistos' marriage to Aphrodite. The story is from the past and not something concurrent with the events of the Odyssey. It is perhaps implied that the couple were subsequently divorced: "Hold them both fast till her [Aphrodite's] father Zeus has given me [Hephaistos] back all the betrothal gifts I bestowed on him for his wanton daughter." Odyssey 8.317ff

HERAKLES Son of Zeus and Alkmene, Iliad 14.324, 19.98, Odyssey 11.266; Son of Zeus, Iliad 5.396, 5.631, 8.362, 14.250, 14.266, 15.25, 18.117, Odyssey 11.620, 21.25, 21.36; Apotheosis, husband of Hebe, Odyssey 11.601-5; Husband of Megara, Odyssey 11.269; Father of Tlepolemos by Astyokheia, Iliad 2.657; Father of Tlepolemos, Iliad 2.653, 5.627; Father of Thessalos, Iliad 2.679; Sons and grandsons, Iliad 2.666

N.B. Hera is descrobed as the eldest daughter of Kronos: "I am likewise a god, and my race is even what yours [Zeus'] is, and I am first of the daughters of devious-devising Kronos, both ways, since I am eldest born and am called your consort, yours, and you in turn are lord over all the immortals."
