Vulcan was the son of Juno and Jupiter. He was born with
a limp.
Just the same, Vulcan was married (and deeply loved) by Venus,
the goddess of love and beauty.
Vulcan
is the Roman god of
fire and forge. He was always making things.
Like all Romans, he was a great builder.
He made all the homes, palaces actually, for the top 12 gods in the
heavens - the Dei
Consentes.
One day, Jupiter
ordered Vulcan to create the first mortal woman out of clay. Vulcan
created the beautiful Pandora.
