-Greek Gods

See he would have defended himself if he could, NOT TO MENTION HIS MANGLED UP LEG!!! What your not getting is its completely null and void because Zeus is king. LIke I said, if Apollo is so fast why did he not defend himself from Zeus? Actually in Mythology Poseidon was turned mortal by Zeus as well. Just like Hera cursing Leto, who is much older than her.

I can agree that Hephaestus has week legs(though I could counter it by asking how he holds his massive body and relatively large constructions with weak legs), but the specfic example of being thrown off Olympus your using contains no relevancy to a fight(and once again, it happened to Apollo THREE times as well). There is no proof when Zeus turned Apollo mortal, there was no way Apollo COULD defend himself physically. Because Zeus could have easily have just pointed at him to turn him mortal, there would be no physical contact. What I'm saying about Hephaestus getting thrown off Olympus, is that if Hephaestus is as fast as your saying why didn't he move away when Zeus was going to grab him. It has stated a bunch of times that Hephaestus can't move fast, so what your saying about him supporting his body with his weak legs doesn't help your argument.(Also I just noticed your a new editor, good job man!) Uh not defending yourself doesn't mean you can't.LIke Hephaestus hadalready been thrown of Mt.Olympus why would he care about a second time. When your real life parent disciplines you, do you punch them in the face? No. That doesn't mean your weak or incapable of defending yourself. Apollo couldn't have defended if he wanted because there would have been no physical contact. Also, I'm pretty sure Hephaestus would care a second time, since he was a baby at time he was first thrown off Olympus, there is a chance he probably barely even remember the time, or instead was informed about it when he got a little older. I am sure Hephaestus can melt golden arrows, but traveling in that speed? Don't you think that's a little crazy. Let's not forget archery is not the only thing Apollo has in his...sleeve. He can turn himself invisible. He can use his photokinesis to blind Hephaestus with blinding light or he can use audiokinesis to make a ultra sonic whistle to stun him. Not to mention Apollo has be known to be Zeus most powerful son(said in this wiki) and he beated Ares in a boxing match and Hermes in a foot race. Sorry, but Apollo is just way more versatile. Hephaestus can't make anything since Apollo will just "kill" him while he's doing it. So the only thing he has is his fire(which Apollo has a resistance to being the god of sun) and his hammer(which the only thing he's good for it is randomly swinging). Sorry again but Apollo wins this.
