Lost (and Found) Around Montgomery
Posted on April 1, 2011 by bob in AroundMtgy
The anvil is an ancient symbol representing Hephaestus, the Greek God of Metalwork. His skill with hammer and anvil, honed in the heat and fire of the forge, created Athena’s shield, Achilles’ armor, and Zeus’ thunderbolt. As with many Greek Gods, Hephaestus was appropriated by the Romans and rechristened Vulcan. This Montgomery anvil sits atop a multi-story building in the midst of a renaissance.

Theatre aficionados Leah Meacham and Annice Glarrow found February’s Around Montgomery at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival with little trouble. “I enjoy the sleuthing” wrote Annice, “but the ASF one was just too easy!”
