The world has been shaped by industrious people be it by hard labour, scientific and health discoveries, technological and mechanical advances and the arts. Without such people where would we be today? The world and we, the general populace, need these extraordinary persons for without them, it would be dull and well, we’d still be paddling up the river without an oar. Out of all the gods, Hephaistos was perhaps the one most people could relate to, for he was worshipped in all aspects of manufacturing and industrial developments.
