Roman God: Vulcan pr Vulcanus - An early Italian or Roman fire god who, over time, became identified with the Greek Hephaestos, god of the forge. In his capacity as a smelter of metals, the Romans called him Vulcan Mulciber, and he was often seen as a more destructive counterpart of Vesta (goddess of the hearth), who represented a more positive force of fire. Romans believed that Vulcan's main forge lay beneath Mt. Etna, the great volcano on the island of Sicily.

Greek God: Hephaestos: The Greek god of fire, the forge and the patron of craftsmen. Some claim he was the son of Zeus and Hera.
