Vulcanus

Then Vulcanus, at the request of Venus, made a set of armour for Aeneas.

It came on strong with blacksmith‐shop sound effects—“clang, clang”—and all who heard it and saw it light up the sky understood why Vulcanus, the Romans’ god of fire whose legendary blacksmith shop was deep in a mountain, gave his name to montanas que arden (mountains that burn).

Out of ancient Nordic legends come ice palaces, fierce mountain kings and lovely snow queens. In St. Paul,. Minn., King Boreas wages battle with Vulcanus, the fire god.
