Trivia[]
- Hephaistos is another way of spelling the name Hephaestus, Greek god of forges, fire, technology, craftsmen, sculptors, volcanoes, and blacksmiths as well as the father of Leo Valdez. However, it's unclear if the store has any connection to the god beyond his name being used for it.
- Percy wondering if the store sells used bronze dragon parts is a reference to Festus, Leo's bronze dragon, who was constructed at some point in the past by Hephaestus's Cabin.
