Hymn to Hephaestus

This is the hymn to Hephaestus, the forge god and the husband to Aphrodite. Enjoy and I get this hymn from Perseus Digital Library.

 


 Sing, clear-voiced Muse, of Hephaestus famed for inventions. With bright-eyed Athena he taught men glorious crafts throughout the world, —men who before used to dwell in caves in the mountains like wild beasts. [5] But now that they have learned crafts through Hephaestus the famed worker, easily they live a peaceful life in their own houses the whole year round.

Be gracious, Hephaestus, and grant me success and prosperity!
