Fact 43

In Greece, the god of fire was called Hephaestus. He is the patron of physical labor, and initially Hephaestus was revered as the god of subterranean fire (volcanoes). In ancient times, there was a cult of the hearth, whose guardian was the goddess Hestia. In Rome, each household had a small altar where a fire was constantly maintained. It was believed that if the flame went out, misfortune would befall the family.
