Hephaestus, the god of fire, especially the blacksmith's fire, was the patron of all craftsmen, principally those working with metals. He was worshiped predominantly in Athens, but also in other manufacturing centres. He was the god of volcanoes. Later, the fire within them represented the smith's furnace. Hephaestus was associated with Mount Etna, which is on the island of Sicily. Known as the lame god, Hephaestus was born weak and crippled. Displeased by the sight of her son, Hera threw Hephaestus from Mount Olympus, and he fell for a whole day before landing in the sea. Nymphs rescued him and took him to Lemnos, where the people of the island cared for him. But other versions say Zeus threw him from Mount Olympus after Hephaestus had sided with his mother in a quarrel. This legend says that Hephaestus fell for nine days and nine nights, and he landed on the island of Lemnos. It was on Lemnos where he built his palace and his forges under a volcano.

Hephaestus. He was the god of fire, and crafts. Put the two together, and you get blacksmiths--his other specialty. He was the son of Zeus and Hera, but there are some who think he was the son of Hera alone. Born lame, he limped all of his life. Ashamed of her son's weakness, Hera cast him off of Mount Olympus. In some accounts, he came to Hera's in a fight between she and Zeus, and Zeus took him by the foot and threw him from Olympus to Earth. Hephaestus accomplished numerous tasks of craftsmanship, such as the palaces that he built for the gods atop Mount Olympus, or the armor that he made for Achilles during the siege of Troy. Hephaestus also created the first woman, Pandora, at the wishes of Zeus. Pandora was given to the Titan's brother, Epimetheus, as his wife. She brought with her a jar filled with all of the world's evils. Going against what she was told, she removed the lid,releasing these evils. However, the jar was not completely empty. Hope alone was left in the jar. And that's about as much as I know.
