Which god is the god of the forge and fire (Greek)?

• A. Hephaestus
• B. Zeus
• C. Poseidon
• D. Ares

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is identifying the Greek deity who embodies smithing, metalworking, and the use of fire. Hephaestus is the divine blacksmith of the Olympian gods, the god of fire and metalworking who forges weapons and tools in his fiery workshop. That specialization—forge and fire—is what links him directly to this role. In contrast, Zeus rules the sky and kingship among the gods, Poseidon governs the sea, and Ares personifies war. So the deity associated with forge and fire is Hephaestus.
