Vulcan

(vůlkan.) (Myth.) The son of Jupiter and Juno, who was lamed (according to some legends) by being kicked out of Olympus by Jupiter, and falling in Lemnos. He was the god of fire, and he forged the thunderbolts of his father, in the forges of Ætna. Venus was married to him. But the legends differ very much in their account of him. [s. 945]
