Goddess of the home, the hearth and the sacred fire

While an incredibly, unbelievably important goddess when it came to daily life in ancient Greece, Hestia was not a part of any major stories. Liv likes to think this is because she was simply too important to take part in any Olympian squabbles, let along waste her time messing with the mortals in any significant way. Hestia was vital to daily life but she was not a large part of any surviving mythology from the ancient Greek world. Her Roman equivalent, Vesta, was equally, if differently, important but the problem of a lack of sources for stories featuring her persists in Rome as well.
