Greek deity developed superphosphates without props (10)

I believe the answer is:

hephaestus

'greek deity' is the definition.
(Hephaestus is an example)

'developed superphosphates without props' is the wordplay.
'developed' indicates an anagram.
'without' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'superphosphates' with 'props' taken away is 'uehsphates'.
'uehsphates' is an anagram of 'HEPHAESTUS'.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
