The silversmith who opposed Paul in Ephesus was named Demetrius. He was angered by Paul's teachings, which threatened the sales of silver shrines dedicated to the goddess Artemis. Demetrius rallied other craftsmen to create a disturbance against Paul, highlighting the economic impact of his ministry on their trade. This incident is recorded in the Book of Acts, specifically Acts 19:23-41.
