Hestia Was The Eldest And Youngest Daughter of Cronus

Cronus and Rhea had a child named Hestia. As the Titans' monarch and the God of time, Cronus presided over the planet. Rhea, his wife, was seen as productive. Hestia was the firstborn to parents who had rescued her mother's five siblings, Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, Hera, and Zeus.


Cronus swallowed all of his children as soon as they were born out of concern that he might be toppled by them. Except for Zeus, who was the last and youngest, Hestia was the first to be swallowed. He had been afraid of losing his reign to his children ever since Uranus had forewarned him of this. Zeus, however, used Metis' assistance and forced Cronus to consume a concoction. Cronus was forced to vomit all he had consumed by the potion. The final person to emerge from Cronus was Hestia. So one of the interesting facts about Hestia is she is both the oldest and youngest daughter because she was "first to be consumed... and the last to be yielded up again."
