Hephaestus, is the God of the 12 Olympean, that was the personification of the mind and the applied work.

He mastered knowledge, in order to build inventions.
He invented machines, robots, and build weapons of great importance in the world of Gods and semi-gods.

Hepheastus was a master in creating things, yet a tormented child and misfortune adult with his disability, hey after all he was nothing but a God, right?

Personally, I feel pitty of him, due to the fact that he was such a hands-on experienced person, but so misfortuned in the arena of marketing about Olympus.

Everybody cares about Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, Aphrodite, Athena even Hades.
Everybody is lured from stories and yellow tabloids about their life.

Yet no one, gives real importance to the mark Hephaestus claims.

He is loyal, he is pragmatic, he is attensive, he has feelings, and he has passion so he innovates. He has craftsmanship, innovative thinking, and while he has problem in his walking, with his abilities gives solution to everyday problems

So human in-deed who nobody gives a credit to this fellow...
