Etymology

The inscriptions in Linear B A-pa-i-ti-jo and Pa-i-to probably relate "Hephaistos" with "Phaistos". If someone has a reliable reference he can add it. (In Greek the relation is obvious). Jestmoon(talk) 15:37, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Ήφαιστος vs. Hephaestus. Compared with the original Greek spelling/sound, it seems the English/Latin version has an additional sound of h at the beginning. Could anyone explain this h sound? --Roland (talk) 19:53, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

The "classical" Greek alphabet doesn't have a letter "h" but ancient Greek had the consonant. The "h" in heuristic, Hellenic, Helen, hydration, hyperbole and many more has indeed come down to us from the Greek roots. Our article Ancient Greek phonology goes into detail. If these things interest you, you'll also find there that our pronounciation of the "ph" in Hephaestus as a sort of "f" is very different from the old Greek pronunciation.

Eros or Harmonia?

I've read before, that although most Greek myths say that Aphrodite & Hephaestus' marriage produced no children, in a few versions either Eros (as noted in the article) or Harmonia was the child of Hephaestus.--Splashen (talk) 03:55, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
