Automatons were statues made out of metal of humans, animals, and monsters that were animated by the God of metalworking, Hephaestus. Some automatons were crafted by Daedalus, the Athenian craftsman.
Forged by the god HEPHAISTOS or the hero DAIDALOS (various sources)
An automaton is a relatively self-operating machine, or a machine or control mechanism designed to automatically follow a predetermined sequence of operations, or respond to predetermined instructions.
