Hestia: the goddess of the hearth and home. She is not a very famous god but she gave up her throne to a new god named Dionysus, the god of wine. She sits by the fire and is rarely ever shown in any myths. She is the youngest and the oldest kid. She is the oldest because she was the first born child of Rhea and Kronos(Cronos) but when they were swallowed by Kronos(Cronos) their ages turned back. Zeus was not swallowed and made his father barf back up his kids and Hestia came out last so she was the youngest. She is also Zeus sister. She is a virgin goddess. Her symbol is a house around which a new born child is carried before it is received into the family.
If you are wondering why Kronos(Cronos) swallowed them in the first place was because he had a prophecy thatone of his kids would overthrow him. He got scared and swallowed his kids. Rhea saved Zeus by putting a rock wrapped up in a blanket. Zeus then defeated Kronos(Cronos) and put him in Tartarus!
