Hestia Is The Goddess of The Hearth, Home, Domestic Life, And Hospitality

Zeus was one of Hestia's siblings and the ruler and monarch of the gods. He was on a mission to topple the Titans' rule along with his other siblings. Hestia enlisted with the crew and carried out the task. After Zeus had won over the Titans, he gave each of the siblings specific positions and duties. At that time, Hestia was tasked with caring for the fires in the Olympian hearth and feeding the gods.


She consequently rose to become the hearth's Goddess. She prepared the fatty, flammable parts of animal sacrifices to the gods over the fires of the Olympian hearth. The goddess stood for domestic life and assisted the Greeks in cooking with fire because the hearth belonged to food and cooking. Every time they cooked the food, they were required to offer it to Hestia.

She also taught the Greeks how to build dwellings, particularly the men. The populace was also instructed in how to keep the peace within the household. She became identified with being the goddess of the home as a result. She was also the Goddess of hospitality and travel, in addition to this. Every time a person moved, they took a flame from the sacred hearth with them. They would believe that Hestia's fire might keep them under her protection.
