In this article, I talk about Hephaistos and how arguments about how the Athenians had an ambivalent relationship with him as their progenitor are unfounded: they picked him! They were happy to have him! They thought he was great! They knew he was disabled and that didn't change anything for them!
New article proofs! This is due out in Greece & Rome sometime around March. It's the last one for a while probably, but it's one I'm excited about. Thanks to Alaya Palamidis, my friend and colleague from the CHS for first telling me about this vase! Hephaistos is hot, y'all.
