Hephaestus, or Ἥφαιστος, son of Zues and Hera, is the Greek god of fire and patron of metalworkers and stonemasons.

According to myth, Hepaestus was blacksmith and weapon-maker to gods that was cast from Olympus; and was the only exiled god allowed to return. He was also known for having a lame foot.

In ancient Roman mythology, he was named Vulcan.
