HESTIA

• Hestia is Zeus sister
• She is a virgin goddess. She does not have a distinct personality. She plays no part in myths.
• She is the Goddess of the Hearth, the symbol of the house around which a newborn child is carried before it is received into the family.
• Each city had a public hearth sacred to Hestia, where the fire was never allowed to go out.
• Of all the Olympians, she is the mildest, most upright and most charitable.
