Hephaestus

(Vulcan)

By Allanah Hare and Beau Maas

The God of Fire & Forge

He’s the only god to be physically ugly and also lame.

He was worshiped predominantly in Athens as a blacksmith.

Feeling rejected by his mother Hera, Hephaestus made a lovely throne for her and sent it to Olympus. She sat in it and discovered she could not get up again. Then the chair levitated. The other Olympian gods tried to reason with Hephaestus, but even Ares was driven off with his flames. He finally was given wine by Dionysus and, drunk, was brought to Olympus to free his mom from the throne.

Hephaestus symbols fire, the axe, the pincers and the hammer.

The only god with a “regular “ job and actually worked on his hands.

Aphrodite was the Olympian goddess who represented beauty and love. Hephaestus was going marry Aphrodite. But in a different myth he was demanded by his father to marry Athena the god of war and wisdom rather than Aphrodite.

Later he divorced Aphrodite and got married to Kharis the goddess of grace.

The Roman God Vulcan was the son of Jupiter and Juno. He normally was depicted as a grotesque figure with one leg shorter than the other, all that resulted from being thrown by Jupiter while attempting to protect his mother from the god’s wrath.

The sacred animal donkey. He rode on the back of the donkey or in a winged chair instead of a chariot.

Legend has it that he interfered in a quarrel between his parents Zeus and Hera, which angered Zeus so terribly that he flung his son out of Olympus and let him fall onto the island of Lemnos.
