Hestia was the goddess of the hearth, home, architecture, domesticity, family, and the state. She was one of only three virgin goddesses, next to Athena and Artemis.
She was primarily known the Goddess of the Hearth.
Hestia is completely omitted from the works of Homer, author of the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Her name literally means “hearth”; appropriately, her priorities were family and community.
