Theme:
Hephaestus was believed to be the god of smithing and craftsmanship in general, of fire and volcanoes (hephaesteia), which were so named after Vulcan, his counterpart in the Roman pantheon. He was son of Zeus and Hera, but was such an ugly infant that Hera hurled him down from heaven in a rage. He landed on Lemnos, with both his feet crippled, and set up his smithy on the island. The Greeks believed that Hephaestus’ smithies lay beneath volcanoes.
