Hestia is the sister of Zeus in Greek mythology. She is one of the twelve Olympian gods and goddesses, known as the goddess of the hearth, home, and family. Zeus is the king of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus.
there are twelve Greek gods. Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hermes, Hephaestus, and Hestia/Dionysus (Hestia was a god but then Dionysus replaced her and now Hestia watches over the hearth)
Hestia was born as a daughter of the Titan gods, Cronus and Rhea. When Cronus swallowed his children to prevent them from overthrowing him, Hestia was the first and last sibling he swallowed. Eventually, Zeus, her brother, rescued her and she became one of the twelve Olympian gods.
On Olympus. Ganymede wasn't "an Olympian", either, but he was the cupbearer for the gods on Mt. Olympus. The term "the Twelve Olympians" is used to designate twelve of the most important gods and goddesses, but they weren't the only dwellers on Olympus. (Also, Hestia is included in some lists of the Twelve Olympians, as befitting her status as Zeus' elder sister.)
In Greek mythology, Hestia is considered one of the oldest deities, as she is the goddess of the hearth and home and one of the original twelve Olympian gods. However, as a mythological figure, she does not have a specific age like a human. Hestia is typically depicted as a timeless and eternal being, representing stability and domesticity rather than a particular age.
In Greek mythology, Hestia is considered one of the oldest Olympian gods, but her exact birth year is not specified as the gods were believed to be eternal and not bound by time. Hestia was one of the first generation of Olympian gods, along with Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, and others.
