Hephaistos was the only Olympian god who worked. According to a passage in the Iliad, Hephaistos fashioned his own strong and intelligent, female assistants out of gold, and build the palaces of the gods. Hephaistos was often represented as a craftsman, as in this fronze figure, wearing a pointed cap (pilos) and a short tunic off one shoulder (exomis.)
