Hera the marriage goddess had given birth to Hephaistos without the help of her husband Zeus. Since Hephaistos was ugly, the goddess threw him from Mt. Olympus. In revenge he built her a magical throne as a gift. Once she sat in it, she couldn't get back up. This scene shows Hera talking with Prometheus while glued to her throne.
