A legendary tale recounts King Solomon hosting master workers from the temple for a feast. A bold “Son of Forge” asserts mastery over the temple artisans, then satirizes sacerdotal pride before Solomon grants honor to the blacksmiths and their craft. The piece ends noting blacksmiths have been honored since.
