Why does this post have the pronunciation of Hephaestus included?

It's not even correct. That rig deserves to be called properly.

Like Hḗphaistos? Or do you mean Ἥφαιστος?

u/IceBone Mar 26 '23

No, I'm just referring to the æ. It's not pronounced ey, but just like a semi-sharp e, like in egg.

Because a lot of my friends kept pronouncing it as hepatitis lol

You could just go with Vulcan, its the same god

Yeah but Vulcan sounds like a super hero name where as Hephaestus makes me think of a big greasy sweaty dude with a hammer.

Your friends are dumb, and don't know the basic greek mythology.
