Hebe Served The Role Of Cup-bearer to Olympian Deities

The female offspring in Ancient Greece provided domestic service for guests. Nobody could argue against it at the time because that was the custom. Even the daughters of Olympian deities performed that domestic function.

One of the interesting facts about Hebe is she served as the household cup-bearer as the daughter of Zeus and Hera. She served guests in Mount Olympus nectar and ambrosia in her golden chalice. She made it possible for visitors to acquire immortal sustenance in this way. She also served food and beverages to the visitors. She also readied her mother's chariot and gave her brother Ares a bath.

Even though it seemed like Hebe's job was dull, there were some benefits. She had the ability to stay youthful and attractive forever, making her and others do the same. And it showed in her youthful shape and radiant complexion.

Hebe once undressed while bringing the drink to the gods. After this incident, Gods grew enraged and prevented her from carrying out her task. She was accused of decency by them. Ganymede later took her position, and he resumed her job of carrying the cups.
