Summary

Hephaestus beyond the drama: the importance and lasting impact of the god of the forge (there are *robots*!).

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
