I thought it was interesting that she "was named as both the eldest and youngest of the six Kronides."

ReplyDelete"As the first to be swallowed she was also the last to be disgorged, and so was named as both the eldest and youngest of the six Kronides." I thought this was interesting.
ReplyDeleteShe is the oldest but also the youngest god. This was interesting to me.
ReplyDeletei thought it was interesting how she was the "virgin goddess", as well as the youngest AND oldest goddess/diety
ReplyDeleteShe was named the eldest and the youngest of the six Kronides.
ReplyDeleteIf the fire of her hearth went out it could not be relighted with ordinary fire. It had to be from fire produced from friction or from the sun.
ReplyDeleteHestia refused marriage with both Apollo and Poseidon which i found interesting because both are powerful gods and usually gods and goddesses go for power and to better themselves but Hestia didn't do that which was strange plus i would of married Apollo because he's epic!
ReplyDeleteHestia was the goddess of the sacrificial flame and received a share of every sacrifice to the gods.

ReplyDeleteShe was the first to be swallowed and the last to be disgorged by Kronos.
ReplyDeletei thought it was interesting that she was the first child swallowed by Cronos yet she isnt talked about very much and is treated poorly.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that she is the goddess of the sacrificial flame and therefore sacrifices was very peculiar and sparked my interest.
