Hephaestus the Machine Nerd
Hephaestus was certainly the god of machines. They say that in his layer you are up to your chest with random bits of gears, wires, and other odds and ends. It is known that he although is the only god that is physically ugly and lame, he is known to be the greatest mechanic in the world. Since he is the god of blacksmiths he also has the ability to summon fire at his will. He had built many of the palaces for the gods of Mount Olympus, and had forged the armor for Achilles during the Siege of Troy. As you can see he has done many great things for the gods and ancient Greeks. Although he may not be the "sharpest knife in the drawer" I think he should be more noticed for his great feats don't you?

He should be more noticed, just because he isn't that good physically, he still is better at making things than all the other gods. I think it would be really awesome if you could summon fire. You could set all your enemies aflame or make a great campfire that never burnt out. If you could be one of the gods would you be him?
