Roman God: Vulcan pr Vulcanus - An early Italian or Roman fire god who, over time, became identified with the Greek Hephaestos, god of the forge. In his capacity as a smelter of metals, the Romans called him Vulcan Mulciber, and he was often seen as a more destructive counterpart of Vesta (goddess of the hearth), who represented a more positive force of fire. Romans believed that Vulcan's main forge lay beneath Mt. Etna, the great volcano on the island of Sicily.
Greek God: Hephaestos: The Greek god of fire, the forge and the patron of craftsmen. Some claim he was the son of Zeus and Hera.
Vulcan was the god of the forge of ancient Rome--his counterpart Hephaestus was the Greek god of the forge. His forge was below the ground, so when there were earthquakes or volcanic eruptions (coming from the name Vulcan), it was assumed Hephaestus was at his work.
Technically, Hephaestus is the god of volcanoes because he is also the god of fire and metalworking. The Greeks also thought that his forges were under volcanoes, and when volcanoes erupt, that is supposed to be when Hephaestus is working at his forge.
When he has to sneeze, he erupts.
Or when Zeus didn't know what to do.
Vulcan was the roman god of Fire and Volcanoes

Vulcan
Volcano came from Vulcan, the roman name of Hephaestus, the blacksmith of the Greek gods. It was believed that when he forged weapons, sparks would fly up and cause volcanic eruptions.
Olympus Mons, (named after the mountain in Greek Mythology) is as wide as the state of Arizona and taller than Mount Everest.
Greek Mythology is a study of Greek Gods and Goddesses'
The word "volcano" was derived from the Roman god of fire and smithing, Vulcan. It was said that Vulcan lived in a volcano where he made weapons for the gods. When he got angry the volcano would erupt, similarly to volcanic eruptions today.
No-one knows...Greek mythology has no dates or chronology.
Volcanoes represented the forges of Hephaestus in Greek mythology. Hephaestus was a blacksmith God.
The word volcano more likely came from ROMAN mythology, not Greek, because the Roman god of fire and volcanoes was called Vulcan.
The workshop of Hepaestus is in Etna (or Aetna as it is known as in greek mythology) a volcano in Italy. i suppose he would have lived there most of the time.
