| | Hestia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the hymn, Hestia is located, not at Mount Olympus, but in ancient Delphi, which was considered the central hearth of all the Hellenes. | | | Hestia, the eldest daughter "became their youngest child, since she was the first to be devoured by their father and the last to be yielded up again" (Kereny 1951 p 91)— the clearest possible example of mythic inversion, a paradox that is noted in the Homeric hymn to Aphrodite (ca 700 BCE): | | | Hestia, you who tend the holy house of the lord Apollo, the Far-shooter at goodly Pytho, with soft oil dripping ever from your locks, come now into this house, come, having one mind with Zeus the all-wise: draw near, and withal bestow grace upon my song. |

| | Greek Goddess Hestia |
| | The source of Hestia’s sacred fire was believed to be the molten lava that burns at the center of the earth, connected by an umbilical cord called the Oomphalos to the city of Delphi, a place of great wisdom and spiritual energy. | | | Hestia's vision of a house was that it should truly be a home, a place where one's body, spirit, and relationships would be nurtured and replenished; a place to come home to after exposure to the cold and chaos of the external world. | | | Hestia is often spoken of in conjunction with her friend and neighbor Hermes, the god of communication and travel. |

| | Temenos Olympicos: Hestia |
| | Quiet as she was, Hestia was honored at every feast, and at every ritual, for it was to her that the first libation was poured and it was also to her to whom the last libation was poured. | | | Hestia is like the burning flame of passion for the security of you and yours in that sacred place you dwell. | | | This has always lead me to believe that the worship of Hestia is one of the oldest of all the Olympian Gods. |

| | The HESTIA Project Description |
| | Hestia is mentioned briefly in the Greek mythology as the goddess who gives up her seat on Mt. Olympus to the god of wine, Dionysis. | | | The origins of the Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth/Fire, might be found in the indigenous fire-based religions of the Middle East including Zoroastrianism and other earlier belief systems from prehistoric Iran. | | | The god and goddess of fire (most likely the precursor to Hestia) continued to exist in the worship of the trilogy Ahuramazda, Anahita and Mithra of the Zoroastrian faith in Persia, even though Zoroaster preached monotheism. |

| | Hestia's consecrated hearth, however, could be found in the center of each and every temple honoring one of the other many differing Greek gods and goddesses... | | | Although she was one of the twelve Olympian deities, Hestia has no stories or myths depicting her deeds among mortals - and there were almost no ancient images of Hestia. | | | The presence of Hestia was found in the center of a fire - and Hestia's fire served to make sacred whatever place it dwelled. |
