Erichthonius, Cacus, and Caeculus
Hephaestus, the Greek god of fire and craftsmanship, is often associated with his son, Erichthonius. In some myths, Erichthonius is described as a legendary king of Athens, born from the earth and associated with the worship of Athena. Hephaestus is also sometimes linked to other offspring through different myths, but Erichthonius is the most prominent figure connected to him.
Erichtonius is the son of Hephaestus and Gaia, and Hephaestus is the father of of Cacus and Caeculus. The mothers of Cacus and Caeculus are unknown.
It's an interesting story. Athena visited Hephaestus once to ask for some weapons, but he thought that she had come to seduce him, and he attempted to rape her. Athena managed to escape, and Hephaestus ended up fertilizing the earth. Later, Erichthonius was born, and Athena hid the baby in a box and gave it to the three daughters of Cecrops.
According to Hyginus' Fabulae, sons of Vulcan are Philammon, Cecrops, Erichthonius, Corynetes, Cercyon, Philottus and Spinther

None. Athene was a maiden goddess (Pallas Athene; Parthenia, with both "pallas" and "parthenos" translating as "youth, maiden or virgin") who in several myths proved that she wanted nothing to do with romantic relationships. One obscure myth, however gives her a child, Erichthonius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena#Erichthonius).
