Hephaestus, one of the twelve Olympians, the son of Zeus and Hera, is the master of the element of fire and metals, the patron of craftsmen, blacksmiths, sculptors and metallurgy.
He is portrayed in his earthly smithy, right beside the blazing forge and bent over the anvil, wielding a hammer and gasping, along with his two helpers, as he forges a thunderbolt for his father, Zeus, the king of all gods of Mount Olympus.
