Answer 2

Hestia (Roman Vesta) Greek goddess of fire and the hearth. Daughter of Kronos and Rhea. She remained a virgin all her life, on the assumption that she was wedded to the sacred hearth fire. Her worship was largely focused on household hearths, but public cults later emerged at the civic hearth. Small offerings of food and drink were typically made at household hearths before meals.

Modern words: Olympic Torch originally honored the Greek goddess Hestia
Her symbol is a flame and the *** is Hestia's sacred animal.
The calf is also associated with Hestia.
Hestia had no children.
Appearance: A sweet, modestly dressed young woman. She often is shown wearing a veil.
Strengths: Constant, calm, gentle, and supportive of the family and home.

Interesting Facts: Hestia was one of three goddesses immune to the influence of Aphrodite. She could not be forced to love anyone. In Rome, a similar goddess, Vesta, ruled over the group of priestesses called the Vestal Virgins whose duty it was to keep the sacred fire perpetually lit.

Answer 3

Hestia is one of the three Great Goddesses of the first Olympian generation: Hestia, Demeter and Hera. She was described as both the oldest and youngest of the three daughters of Rhea and Cronus, the sisters to three brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Her name means “the essence”, the true nature of things.

She was Goddess of the Hearth and protects all suppliants at every private house and city hall. Her fire is truly sacred and she also reigned over personal security and happiness and the sacred duty of hospitality. Hestia is also credited with the invention of building houses.
In classical Greek art Hestia was depicted as a woman modestly cloaked in a head veil. Of all of the Gods, Hestia was the mildest, the most tender and loving, and the most forgiving. Unlike the other Greek goddesses, Hestia does not have a "story" there were few adventures to record about her. It is her traits, not her actions, that most define her. These virtues define the goddess Hestia: mild, gentle, forgiving, peaceful, serene, dignified, calm, secure, stable, welcoming, and, above all else, well-centered.
