According to legend, the Roman god Vulcan captured lightening bolts to fuel his forge deep in the Earth beneath the volcano, Mt. Etna. Applying his hammer and hand, he crafted weapons for fellow gods and mortal heroes, including thunderbolts for Zeus, a bow and arrows for Cupid, armor for Aeneas, and Helios's magnificent chariot. While 20th century life is a far cry from Vulcan's world, American metalsmiths still make work by grasping hammer in hand and applying force to metal held hot against a steel anvil.
