The_Lame_God_Of_Fire

The Lame God Of Fire The Lame God of Fire Greek mythology may have several different versions of one myth or tale, depending upon the source. One of the stable foundations of ancient Greek mythology is the divine role of the twelve great Olympian gods and goddesses that live atop Mount (Mt.) Olympus, along with numerous other lessor gods and goddesses known to mythology. These twelve great Olympians are immortal and hailed as the supreme power and influence of their time. Each god is portrayed as beautiful with bodies sculpted to perfection, with one exception: Hephaistos, the god of fire and craft. He is the smith and armorer of the gods and the only supreme Olympian god who is lame. He is portrayed as ugly and sometimes serves as a comical figure. A master of metals and crafts, he forged many celebrated works. Some works are remembered as famous, others as infamous. Hephaistos is the son of Zeus, Father of the gods, and Hera, goddess of marriage. Some say he is the son of Hera alone. He has a crippled leg and walks with a limp. The origin of his lame leg is in question.
