Taleweaver’s Prompt #34 “Hephaestus”
Ascachilwen
Hephaestus is probably my favorite of the Greek gods possibly because so little is known of him and probably because he is kind of an outcast/reject. You can either embellish and/or retell an existing myth or you can create an entirely new one. You can even insert yourself into the myth.

Hep was cool
he hung out with guys
who didn’t speak Latin or Greek
but made up their own language instead
just for fun
when he wore clothes
he wore his collars up
and rolled his sleeves
his chariot had flames
running along the sides
he had tattoos on both arms
and his back
and while something of an outcast
the girls loved him
he collected anvils and used them
to create interesting works of art
he was wealthy
and because of that
he was often saved
from the overt wrath of others
Hep was a generous God
he helped the poor and needy
he didn’t care what other people thought
he made music
and started a band
he thought humans were mean
and hypocritical
he didn’t mix with those
who worshipped in golden temples
but mingled with outcasts
and nature lovers
Hep was a cool cat
who enjoyed his time on earth
but when asked if he would return
he said no
one trip to hell was enough
Isn’t there an expression hepcat that means cool? Most amusing and I love those closing lines haha
Fun.

Took me awhile with all the research …and after the kiddies left.
(By the way we had our first snow today… though it didn’t last that long)
