1576	ENT_EGY_PTAH	received_as	ENT_HEPHAESTUS	high	Herodotus explicitly equates Ptah with Hephaestus at 3.37, where he refers to the temple of Ptah at Memphis as the temple of Hephaestus: "the temple of Hephaestus" (= Ptah) at Memphis is where Cambyses committed his sacrilege. Memphis itself was sometimes called "Hephaestia" by Greek writers. The equation rests on shared craftsmanship and creation attributes: Ptah is the divine craftsman and creator-by-word in Egyptian theology; Hephaestus is the divine craftsman and smith of the Greek pantheon. Both are associated with fire, metalwork, and the creative power to fashion divine objects. The identification was widespread in the Ptolemaic and Roman periods.
