Hephaestus - The God of Tinbashing
Posted by Paul Woodhouse at April 19th, 2007
You have a few poxy jobs that pretend to have patron saints but that doesn’t come close to actually having your own God (monotheistic deities apart).
HEPHAISTOS was the great Olympian god of fire, metalworking, construction and the fine arts. He was usually depicted as bearded man with hammer and tongs, the tools of a smith. He was also often shown riding on the back of a donkey, presumably to suggest his crippled legs.
So an ugly, bearded fella with wibbly-wobbly legs - sounds a bit like our very own Jasper.
