Hestia
Hestia was the oldest child of Kronos and Rhea, but her thought of her as the youngest because she was vomited by Kronos last. She became the goddess of the hearth. The hearth was the central fire in a Greek house. She originally had a throne on Olympus, but gave up her throne for Dionysus. This is why there weren't that many temples and shrines to her. She swore to be a maiden, refusing to take a husband.

ReplyDeleteThe hearth is about more than the fireplace. What could the hearth symbolize for Greek families?
