Armour at the request of Thetis, the mother of Achilles who had saved Hephaestus when Hera threw him from heaven as a babe for being lame/ugly.
Hephaestus by the request of Achilles mother, Thetis.
Hephaestus was.
I think you mean a shield and it was Hephaestus.
Hephaestus by the request of Achilles mother, Thetis.
It was not given a name: it was simply known as the armor of Achilles.
For Thetis, the mother of Achilles, and his rescuer when Hera threw him from Mt. Olympus, he build the Armour of Achilles.
It was crafted by Hephaestus and was a golden armour said to be as bright as the sun and was the best armour ever made.
In his great forge, helped by the three cyclopes.
Achilles didn't really have a quest, but he joined the Greeks in battle to get Helen of Troy back to her husband Menelaus. Since his mother was a river goddess, he was able to get armour crafted by Hephaestus himself. Although he was the bravest soldier in the ranks of Agamemnon, he was killed by Paris of Troy. The Greek gods and goddesses were divided in this matter, like Poseidon and Aphrodite were with the Trojans, while Athena and Hephaestus aided the Greeks.
In Book 21 of The Illiad Achilles singlehandedly splits the Trojan army, driving half back into the city and half into the river where he begins hacking them to pieces with no mercy. The river god Xanthus complains to Achilles that all the corpses are impeding the flow of the water and asks him to stop killing the Trjans. Achilles agrees, but then says he first has to kill the remaining Trojans. At this point Xanthus attacks Achilles, throwing the corpses of the dead out of the river and sending large waves to drown him. Fearing he'll die without honor, drowned like a child, Achilles prays to Zeus for assistance. Athena and Poseidon hear and promise Achilles he won't be killed and tell him to kill the Trojans and Hector. Athena gives Achilles speed so he can outrun the waves and Hera calls on Hephaestus, the god of fire, to fight Xanthus. Hephaestus sets the corpses on fire and all the plants near the river are burned as well, the river boils and all the animals in it die, finally Xanthus concedes the battle.
Hephaestus (huh-fes'-tuhs) or in roman Vulcan he was the brother of Ares. although he was lame (disabled movement) & ugly, he was the husband of Aphrodite (ae-froh-die-tee), that often caused Ares to be jealous of him. Hephaestus made magical weapons for the gods & demigods, such as Achilles armour & Eros's bow & arrow
Achilles lived in Athens, Greece.
