Mulciber
—i.e. Vulcan. It is said that he took the part of Juno
against Jupiter, and Jupiter hurled him out of heaven. He was three
days in falling, and at last was picked up, half-dead and with one leg
broken, by the fishermen of the island of Lemnos. (See Milton:
Paradise Lost, book i., 740, etc.)
