Hestia is the goddess of the hearth meaning that she presides over the household/domestic/private sphere. Since every house had a hearth, every house had a shrine to Hestia. She is the first to get libations at a feast. She vowed to remain a virgin so she could remain the centre of the family on Mount Olympus much like the hearth is the centre of the household.
