Mulciber

Luxon, Thomas H., ed. The Milton Reading Room, http://www.dartmouth.edu/~milton, October, 2014.

Vulcan or Hephaistos in Greek. The gods' smith. According to legend, Hephaistos was born by Hera, queen of the gods, without any sire. Hera threw him down to Hades, but he was rescued by his own wit with the help of Dionysius. See Pausanias' Description of Greece 1.20.3.
