  3. Hestia • Greek name: Hestia • Roman name: Vesta • Parents: Kronosand Rhea (first born child, and the first to be swallowed by Kronos and the last to be disgorged, so she was considered the oldest and the youngest). • Sphere of influence: goddess of hearth and the home • Attributes: a kettle, a branch, a hearth and the tamed fire that burns there • Birthplace: the Island of Crete • Favorite place: the Home

  4. Hestia I chose this picture to show the Greek goddess Hestia because it is the most common portrait of her. That means that this is what people think of when they think of her. To me she looks gentle and forgiving. She is shown holding a flowered branch (one of her attributes). In every picture I have seen of her she has a very kind expression. I might even say she is modest in the way she is presented. Most deities are presented as fierce and very intense, so she is different. She is the goddess of hearth and the home, so I think this is a very good painting of her. Pre 476 A.D.

  5. Hestia I chose this picture to show Hestia using modern art because I think it can tell you many things about her. I can tell that she is gentle and kind by the way she is portrayed. She also has that flame which is a very common attribute of hers. She looks “one with herself” and very spiritual. In this picture she looks to be meditating. My initial reaction to this picture was warmth. She gives off this feeling of warmth and happiness, and it just makes me feel good. It might be the flame or just her expression, but to me it is a very soothing picture. “Modern Art” Post-1400 A.D
