This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Athena Scorning Advances of Hephaestus designed from a painting by Paris Bordone shows that according to Greek Mythology, Hephaestus was deeply in love with Athena and was in hot pursuit of her. As they became involved in love making, Athena became disgusted with Hephaestus's advances and moved away suddenly when he climaxed, and his semen fell to the ground thus impregnating Gaia. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
