HEPHAISTOS was the great Olympian god of fire, metalworking, stonemasonry and the art of sculpture. He was usually depicted as a bearded man holding hammer and tongs--the tools of a smith--and riding a donkey.





hammer in Greek is

ρήμ. σφυρηλατώ, προσπαθώ με κόπο

Re-post in that section where you will have a better chance of finding a Greek speaker.


There is a guy on page 7 of the Leader Board who is a Top Contributor in Languages (46% best answers) who may be have a knowledge of Greek.


The Greek for to hammer is sfeeree, which isn't a lot of help since it doesn't begin with K.
Reply:perhaps you could ask this in the language category in the hope that a Greek speaker knows a bit more. Sorry I can't be of any help; I hope you find what you're looking for.
