Purphoros

Purphoros is a figure from Greek mythology, often associated with the god of fire. In Hesiod's "Theogony," Purphoros is described as the son of Hyperion and Theia, and is one of the twelve Titans. He is often depicted as a powerful and fierce deity, wielding a flaming sword and riding a chariot drawn by fire-breathing horses. Purphoros is also known as the god of the forge and the smith, as he is credited with teaching humans the art of metalworking. In some accounts, he is also associated with the sun, as he is said to have stolen the golden apples of the Hesperides from the goddess Hera, who then sent the giant Typhon to retrieve them. Despite his fierce nature, Purphoros is also associated with the creative and destructive power of fire, and is often depicted as a symbol of transformation and rebirth.
