Athena or Athene, often given the epithet Pallas, is an historic Greek goddess related with wisdom, warfare, and handicraft who used to be later syncretized with the Roman goddess Minerva.
Hephaestus is the god of blacksmiths and fire. Called “the celestial artificer,” he was once also related with different craftsmen (sculptors, carpenters, metalworkers) and, as evident in the identify of his Roman counterpart Vulcan, with volcanoes.
Return to Olympus
Hephaestus fell from the sky for various days and ultimately landed in the sea where he was rescued by way of some sea nymphs. The nymphs hid him from Hera and raised him in an underwater cave. It was once all through this time that he realized how to craft terrific works from metal.
