Hestia is the Goddess of the Hearth. She had a place in every Greek home and in many communities there was a central hearth dedicated to her that anyone could come to for baking bread or whatever. She was very important, receiving the first and last portion of every sacrifice. The hearth she rules over is literal, the fire where the food is cooked and the family gathers to get warm, and also figurative, as it is the heart of home and family life.

She is also a virgin goddess.
