What did Hestia look like?

Answer 1

in short, the persons writing below the bold links and lettering has bum steered the topic to futbol or "Soccer"
please pay no heed to this twit, and just check the truth out for yourself below


Hestia was an ancient goddess assumed in the minds and daily lives, rituals and life in the Ancient Greeks. As she was a goddess, albeit a deity, one would have to add depiction of a human likeness, much like we have done with Jesus Christ. Below are some examples of some busts that depict her assumed likeness.

Answer 2

Beautiful. All Greek goddesses are lovely. That said: she is often identified in vase painting and sculpture as a modestly veiled woman.

Hestia - as all Greek gods and goddesses are - could change her appearance, but usually looked like modestly veiled woman sometimes holding a flowered branch . In classical sculpture she was also veiled, with a kettle as her attribute. She wore simple and modest clothing.

Answer 3

Hestia was depicted in Athenian vase painting as a modestly veiled woman sometimes holding a flowered branch (of a chaste tree ?). In classical sculpture she was also veiled, with a kettle as her attribute.

Answer 4

Well, Hestia is a particularly boring goddess she has no interesting powers or myths. In fact, the only noticeable thing she has ever done is to give up her throne on Olympus to Dionysus. But, to answer your question her special quality is that she keeps the hearth going forever.

Answer 5

Greek gods and goddesses commonly took any appearance they cared (Zeus is infamous for this) but from some renderings she is a women, veiled (some take this to meaning "modest" or "virgin"), often Hestia is only identified if she is named in the artistic rendering, as she has so few recognized symbols.

Answer 6

Hestia is rarely written or spoken of in Greek myth, so we do not know enough.
