Birthplace: Greece
Hephaestus, the Greek god of artisans and blacksmiths, excelled in crafting weapons and tools for the gods of Olympus. Revered as the blacksmith of the divine realm, he was worshipped in industrial hubs like Athens and Lemnos. Hephaestus’ expertise in metallurgy and sculpture was unmatched, symbolized by his tools – a smith’s hammer, anvil, and tongs. Cast from Mount Olympus due to his lameness, he persevered as a master craftsman, embodying the virtues of skill, creativity, and dedication in the realms of fire, metalworking, and sculpture.
