            Hephaestus the Greek god of fire, crafts, and smiths can be described as talented.  One example of his talent is despite having crippled legs he was still able to make fine jewelry for Thetis underwater. In fact, he became known for his ability to create intricate necklaces and bracelets. Another example of his talent is that he was able to train many apprentice craftsmen to become great blacksmiths. Being able to do the work and teach the work is a definite sign of skill.  One more example of HephaestusÕs talent to make metal into fine things is that he created Pandora out of clay. Being able to create a person out of a raw material is a sign that Hephaestus has bundles of talent. In conclusion Hephaestus really has a knack for creating things.
