The conspicuous Temple of Hephaistos, Greek god of metalworkers, high above the Agora reflects the esteem in which bronzeworkers were held by the Athenians. Although many of the objects these craftsmen produced have now been melted down, the statues, lamps and vessels that remain testify to the high standards they worked to. As well as illustrating some of the surviving finished products, the author discusses the techniques used to cast bronze, and the level of skill involved in producing complex metal statuary.
