Does that Wellstone! man have anything to do with anything? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.44.115.14 (talk • contribs) 11:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC).

Uh, no. That was inserted by a long-term vandal. 16:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Juvenilia

I've removed the following:

  • In the computer game Diablo II, there is a unique foe guarding the "Hellforge" located in the River of Flame, which the character must defeat in order to progress with a side-quest. The demon is named Hephasto, which has possible relevance to the God Hephaestus.
  • In the anime Digimon one of Zudomon's attacks was called Vulcan's Hammer.

It all seemed too trivial. Still, I'm aware that I'm less than averagely bewitched by the charms of anime, etc. -- Hoary 22:32, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Aye, the point that seems to pass over many heads is that a little acquaintance with Hephaestus may explain some characters and details in these market-driven productions, and so a link is relevant there, but that the converse is not true. It depends partly in understanding converse, I suppose. --Wetman 10:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
If BioShock is worth a mention I think the Soulcalibur games are deffinitly worth one.81.227.124.234 21:57, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Concern regarding portrait

While it is acknowledged that many forms of artwork regarding this period of history do not have the prohibition on nudity, there may be a reasoning for replacing the portrait due to potential issues regarding age appropriateness. I leave it up to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Greece and Wikipedia:WikiProject Mythology groups to make the final call on this as I am a newly "born" wikipedian Hasteur 05:06, 13 November 2007 (UTC) idc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.124.225.130 (talk) 17:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
