| Hestia was the Greek goddess of the Hearth, eldest and gentlest of the Olympians. She is identified with the hearth as a physical object, and the abstractions of community and domesticity, but portrayals of her are rare and seldom secure. In classical Greek art, she is occasionally depicted as a woman, simply and modestly cloaked in a head veil. She is sometimes shown with a staff in hand or by a large fire. She sat on a plain wooden throne with a white woollen cushion and did not trouble to choose an emblem for herself. In some stories, Hestia did not have a throne at all. In others, she gave up her throne for Dionysus to avoid conflict among the gods. She also notably rejected the suits of Poseidon and Apollo, choosing to remain virginal. All family and public hearths were seen as altars to Hestia, and were maintained constantly burning. |
