Description: (Son of Zeus)
Hephaestus, the Greek god of artisans and blacksmiths, was renowned for his exceptional skill in crafting weapons and tools for the gods of Olympus. Revered as the master blacksmith of the divine realm, he was worshipped in industrial centers such as Athens and Lemnos. Hephaestus' unparalleled expertise in metallurgy and sculpture was symbolized by his signature tools - a smith's hammer, anvil, and tongs. Despite being cast from Mount Olympus due to his lameness, he continued to persevere as a master craftsman, embodying virtues of skill, creativity, and dedication in the realms of fire, metalworking, and sculpture.
