There isn't much, because she was simply honored and worshiped, and didn't support heroes like her nieces Athena and Artemis. Here's all I know;

  1. She is the goddess of Home and Hearth.
  2. In Roman her name is Vesta.
  3. She is one of the three maiden goddesses (Hestia, Athena, Artemis).
  4. Every Greek meal began and ended with an offering to her.
  5. She rarely, if ever, left Olympus.
  6. Her sacred hearth was tended to by 6 virgin priestesses called Vestals.
  7. She was given a holiday in June (which is funny, because June is Hera's month).
