Best Answer

Though he is a god, Hephaestus does not appear in The Odyssey at all. However, he is mentioned many times in epic similes when Odysseus is cleansed by Athena. In the epic similes, Odysseus is being compared to Hephaestus polishing silver: "As a master craftsman washes gold over beaten silver--a man the god of fire and Queen Athena trained in every fine technique--and finishes off his last effort, hansome work...so she lavishes splendor over his head and shoulders now" (Book 23 line 178).
