Hephaestus
The God of fire and metalworking in ancient mythology, and whose forge was in a volcano. Romans called him Vulcan.
The underpainting of a Middle-Eastern cleric is all but lost in the explosion of a volcano and a naked Ares in the foreground. Ares’ clothes and the mountain's forests are scorched and burned off in the conflagration caused by the eruption of Hephaestus. However Ares, the God of war (nude in foreground), trumps his nemesis, as only modern warfare can outdo nature in its ability to destroy mankind and nature alike. His clothing burned away, Ares (Mars to the Romans) blocks his eyes from the volcanic explosion and drags humanity off the face of the scorched Earth, represented here by the barren/childless woman in the folds near the top of the cloak. Our toxic chemical recklessness and 'carbon footprint' are affecting the endocrine systems of unborn male children and women's fertility.
