The temple was dedicated to the gods Hephaistos and Athena. Hephaestus, Greek god of volcanoes and metalworking, was the only one of the Olympian Gods who was physically imperfect – he was lame – and who had to perform manual labor. He worked as a blacksmith and was responsible for crafting the armor with a fatal weakness worn by Achilles in The Iliad. The temple is also dedicated to Athena Ergane, a form of the city’s patron goddess responsible for pottery and other crafts.
