雅思口语素材:古希腊12主神介绍(赫菲斯托斯)

  赫菲斯托斯(英文:Hephaistos/希腊文:Ήφαιστος/拉丁文:Hephaestus)希腊神话中的火神与匠神。另一译为赫淮斯托斯、赫斐斯塔司。奥林匹斯十二主神之一。罗马神话中为伏尔甘(Vulcan)。西方语言中的“火山”一词来源于他的罗马名字。宙斯和赫拉所生(一说他只有母亲)。有火山活动的利姆诺斯、西西里等岛屿最初尊他为地火之神。能建筑神殿,制作各种武器和金属用品,技艺高超,被认为工匠的始祖。在手工业中心,他被奉为锻造的庇护神。

  Hephaestus ( /hɪˈfiːstəs/, /həˈfɛstəs/ or /hɨˈfɛstəs/; 8 spellings; Ancient Greek Ἥφαιστος Hēphaistos) was the Greek god of technology, blacksmiths, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, metals, metallurgy, fire andvolcanoes. Hephaestus' Roman equivalent was Vulcan. In Greek mythology, Hephaestus was the son of Zeus andHera, the King and Queen of the Gods.

  As a smithing god, Hephaestus made all the weapons of the gods in Olympus. He served as the blacksmith of the gods, and was worshipped in the manufacturing and industrial centres of Greece, particularly Athens. The cult of Hephaestus was based in Lemnos. Hephaestus's symbols are a smith's hammer, anvil, and a pair of tongs.

  The craft of Hephaestus

  Hephaestus had his own palace on Olympus, containing his workshop with anvil and twenty bellows that worked at his bidding. Hephaestus crafted much of the magnificent equipment of the gods, and almost any finely-wrought metalwork imbued with powers that appears in Greek myth is said to have been forged by Hephaestus. He designed Hermes' winged helmet and sandals, the Aegis breastplate, Aphrodite's famed girdle, Agamemnon's staff of office, Achilles' armor, Heracles' bronze clappers, Helios' chariot, the shoulder of Pelops, andEros' bow and arrows. In later accounts, Hephaestus worked with the help of the chthonic Cyclopes—among them his assistants in the forge, Brontes, Steropes and Pyracmon.

  Hephaestus also built automatons of metal to work for him. This included tripods that walked to and fromMount Olympus. He gave to the blinded Orion his apprentice Cedalion as a guide. Prometheus stole the fire that he gave to man from Hephaestus's forge. Hephaestus also created the gift that the gods gave to man, the woman Pandora and her pithos. Being a skilled blacksmith, Hephaestus created all the thrones in the Palace of Olympus.
