Hephaestus and Aphrodite were put in an arranged marriage by Hephaestus's (step)father Zeus in order to prevent fights over Aphrodite between the other gods because of her beauty. She was unhappy in the marriage so she cheated on him with Aries he God of War.
Hephaestus found out about Aphrodite's cheating from the all-seeing Sun(Helios), and planned a trap for them during one of their rendezvous. While Aphrodite and Ares were together in bed, Hephaestus entrapped them in an unbreakable chain-link net (so small that it was invisible) and dragged them to Mount Olympus to embarrass them in front of the other gods for revenge.
However, the gods laughed and were amused, so Poseidon persuaded Hephaestus to free them and assured him that Ares would pay the adulterer's fine.
In some versions of the story: Hephaestus states in that he would return Aphrodite to her father and demand back his bride price: this is the one episode that links them.
