Definition
Hephaistos is simply an alternative spelling of Hephaestus, the Greek god of blacksmiths, metalworking, fire, and craftsmanship. This version emphasizes the direct transliteration from the original Greek. He is still the divine artisan who creates magnificent objects, from jewelry to weapons, often with a limp. His role is fundamentally about skill, creation, and the application of intelligence to manufacture. He represents the beauty and power of skilled creation.
