Hestia
A Greek Goddess
Who Am I?
HELLO! I am Hestia, the goddess of the hearth (also known as fire), home, architecture, domesticity, family, and the state. I am the first generation of Olympian Goddesses. I am also one of only three virgin goddesses, next to Athena and Artemis. Although both Poseidon and Apollo wanted to marry me, I made an oath to Zeus that I would remain forever pure. All families poured sweet wine in my name and dedicated me the richest portion. The hearth fire was not allowed to go out by any family unless it was ritually extinguished. I may not have had a public cult, but I am always worshiped in any temple, regardless of the god the temple was dedicated to. Also, in Rome, my name is not Hestia, but rather Vesta.

What Are Some Of My Responsibilities?
As the goddess of hearth and family, my number one duty is to keep the "home fires burning" (it was a full-time job). In ancient times, letting the fire go out was considered an omen of disaster, since fire was the key to warmth to human kind.
