how they effected the humans on earth. In Greek mythology, the Twelve Olympians, also known as
the Dodekatheo were the primary deities of the Greek pantheon, residing upon a mythical Mount

Hades, recognized in the Eleusinian tradition as Pluto, was not typically included amid the
Olympians as his realm was the underworld. Plato associated the Twelve Olympians with the twelve
months, and suggests that he considered Pluto one of the twelve in propositioning that the final
month be dedicated to him and the spirits of the dead. In Phaedrus Plato communicates the twelve
gods with the Zodiac and wished to eliminate Hestia from their rank. In the ancient religion, the
"Olympian Gods" and the "Cults of Twelve Gods" were often fairly distinct notions. The
Dodekatheon of Herodotus involved Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hermes, Athena, Apollo, Alpheus,
Cronus, Rhea and the Charities. Herodotus correspondingly discusses that Heracles was involved as
one of the Twelve to some degree. At Kos, Heracles and Dionysus are additional to the Twelve, and
Ares and Hephaestus are not. For Pindar, the Bibliotheca, and Herodorus, Heracles is not one of the
Twelve Gods, but the one who established their cult. Lucian (2nd century AD) embraces Heracles
and Asclepius as associates of the Twelve, without explanation which two had to give way for

instance) also get their names from mythological sources and the website Amazon.com is named
after the race of mythical female warriors.
Greek mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient Greeks, concerning
their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and
ritual practices. It was a part of the religion in ancient Greece. Greek myth attempts to explain the
origins of the world, and details the lives and adventures of a wild Varity of gods, goddesses, heroes,

Hestia, Greek Goddess
HESTIA
Hestia, or Vesta in Roman mythology. The eldest daughter of Zeus and the oldest of Rhea and
Kronos. She was a virgin goddess. She, along with Artemis and Athena, were maiden divinities
(unmarried goddess's). She was wooed by Poseidon and Apollo, but she swore by the head of Zeus
to remain a virgin. She is the Goddess of hearth, fire, and home. Hestia represented personal
security, happiness and the sacred duty of hospitality. She presided over domestic life. Her symbols
are the sacred flame, and circle. Though she had no throne of her own, she tended the sacred fire in
the hall of Olympus and every hearth on earth was her altar. She was believed to dwell in the inner
part of every home and invented the art to building ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
When groups, towns, or communities were made, people made public hearths, called prytaneums.
That is the place a fire was constantly maintained for the good of all. If the fire ever goes out,
someone couldn't just light it with any normal fire. It had to be done precisely and only with friction
or by burning glass, drawing fire from the sun. This was believed to invoke Hestia to guard your
hearth. Hestia was depicted (recognized) in an Athenian vase painting as a modestly veiled woman,
sometimes holding a flowered branch. In classical sculpture she was also veiled with a kettle as her
attribute. She was once considered "Chief of all goddesses" but is now consider to be "the lost
goddess." Her name means "the essence; true nature of things". People would pray to her for
protection and hospitality, and for warmth. They would also pray to her to help us accept the truth of
our lives with inner grace. The people would pray to her from the Forum, the house of Vestal
Virgins, and even present day at the firesides of their homes.

What Role Does Vesta Play In Greek Mythology
Roman mythology is full of rich, cultural stories. Many of them are about the struggle of humanity.
Others are about overcoming impossible odds, and maybe slaying a beast. However, some of the
most engaging stories are about the Roman gods. Vesta is one of the lesser gods, but she is also one
of the most important. There is a lot of interesting information about what Vesta was like as a
goddess. "Vesta was the goddess of the hearth, the home, and domestic life in the Roman religion"
(ancient.eu). In Greek mythology, she "identified with the Greek goddess Hestia" (ancient.eu).
Many of the Roman gods are portrayed by statues, however, "unlike most of the other gods and
goddesses, Vesta was never represented by a statue of any sort, for she was thought of as being the
hearth–fire herself" (Usher, 19). Vesta was also viewed by the Romans in a peculiar way. In Roman
mythology, her father eats Vesta and her siblings, and "being the first one eaten, she was the last to
be released, so the romans considered her both the oldest and the youngest of the gods"
(mythology.net). She was often depicted followed by her spirit animal, a donkey (mythology.net).
Also, since she is the goddess of the hearth, her symbol is the hearth. While there are not many

the Vestalia was celebrated. During this festival, Roman matrons walked barefoot in a procession to

final decision, and that was if he was going to invite his brother Hades. ''The sun hurts his eyes and
the smell of the nice air burns his nostrils.'' Zeus says. His wife Hera was trying to help him with the

horses rest after the long ride. He woke up the next day by after he felt a tap with a stick on the
forehead. He looked and found that it was the young maiden, seeing if he was okay but very
cautious. She didn't know who he was so she asked very kindly, ''Who are you.'' Hades didn't want
her to know that he was the god of the underworld so he told her he was a prince that was lost and
needed help finding his way back home. So the maiden helped him up and he asked for her name.
She said, ''I am Jewels.'' Hades told her it was a beautiful name. She turned away and blushed. Then
she asked what palace, he was from. He told her it was a very long trip so she asked to go along.
Hades kindly agreed, so she packed her thing and said her goodbyes and traveled with Hades all the
way to the underworld. For some reason Jewels liked to be with Hades because he treated her like

book he is accused of poisoning Thalia's tree because of that. Mr. D, is actually Dionysius. He is the
director of the camp. He is very unenthusiastic about his job, this is because he doesn't really want

punishment. He is under prohibition, during which he cannot drink wine or grow wine grapes. At

The Sacred Home Of Demeter
Chapter One
The sacred home of Demeter, Level 07 of the enormous Space Station Olympus, was dedicated
almost solely to farming. Vast fields of wheat and vegetables stretched as far as the eye could see,
large orchards of fruit trees filled the Southern section, and tall silos towered over each field. As vast
as it was, this level was not the only place growing food for the ever–expanding population of the
space station. There were two more levels between the inhabited cities and Hades that produced
grain, fruits, and vegetables, and personal farms could be found on nearly all other levels.
Even with all that, food was starting to become scarce. The humans prayed daily to Demeter for a
bountiful harvest to feed the masses. Legends told of how Demeter blessed the mortals and the
fields yielded untold edible treasures, but for the past eighteen years, Demeter barely paid the
mortals any mind. All of her focus was now on her daughter, Kore, and protecting her from the dark
forces Demeter knew were plotting against them.
"It 's us against them," Demeter would tell Kore each day as she braided her daughter 's dark, curly
hair. "I 'm the only person you can trust."
Kore grew under her mother 's watchful eyes. Like Demeter, she heard the prayers of the humans
every day. By the time Kore was eighteen, the lamentations haunted her. There was nothing Kore
could do without being officially named a goddess, and Demeter seemed to no longer care. The only

Hestia Hearth Goddess
Hestia: Goddess of the Hearth
Many gods and goddesses don't have many myths or exciting tales surrounding them. Hestia, born
from Chronus and Rhea, is one of them. This is because she has a solitary job: protecting and
flourishing the hearth of every home and family (Freeman 80). She may have a few myths, such as
how she got her honor as a virgin goddess and such, but the hearth of Hestia must be guarded at all
times so they can't be excessive (Freeman 80). But because of this she was greatly worshipped and
respected to the point where she was given a share of all other offerings ("Hestia"). Hestia wasn't
only god of the hearth, however. She was also in charge of family meals and communal feasts,
another important part of everyday lives for humans ("Hestia"). Despite the fact of having little

She is a virgin goddess, and the myth surrounding is that despite being asked by Poseidon and
Apollo for her hand, she simply refused, even swearing on Zeus' head that she'd remain a maiden as
long as she lived ("Hestia"). In return for this, Zeus gave her a high honor and a portion of all gods'
offerings ("Hestia"). So from there on, she was considered a chief among goddesses ("Hestia").
Another myth of hers takes place after a banquet while many of the gods were frolicking and
napping around the earth ("Hestia"). Hestia was napping peacefully, when a god named Priapus
suddenly attempted to rape her ("Hestia"). Coincidentally, a donkey that Silenus, another god, rode
to the banquet, let out a loud screech for no apparent reason ("Hestia"). Hestia is suddenly awakened
by this, and the gods rush to help her from Priapus ("Hestia"). Myths are scarce when it comes to

A True Love Story
Pan was lonely with just his flute, so he set out to find true love. He didn't have very good luck until
one day when he was wandering through the forest. As he was walking, he approached a hungry and
mean bear. At this same time, Hestia was walking in the same forest, but in the opposite direction as
Pan. She was walking through the forest to go check on her hearth in Rome.
As Pan was quietly trying to not disturb the hungry bear, he accidentally stepped on a stick which
alerted the bear. The bear then began to charge toward Pan. He then pulled out his pan flute and
began playing a soothing song. The bear calmed down and went on with his search for something to
eat.
After Hestia watched the whole scene, she couldn't get Pan out of her head. She had instantly fallen
in love with him and his wonderful flute playing. She went up to Pan and told him how brave he
was to calm that mean bear down. She also told him that he played lovely music. They then
continued going their opposite ways through the forest. Before Hestia was out of sight, Pan yelled
that he would see her again someday. He was sure of it. The next day, Pan set out to find his love,
Hestia. He again walked through the same forest to see if Hestia was going back home from Rome.
He still never saw her, but he never gave up hope. He continued searching for her, day after day, in
the same forest. After about 2 weeks of searching for Hestia, he began losing hope. He thought to

The Greek Goddesses
In Greek mythology the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus played a major role in everyday
life. The Greeks respected them and thought of the gods as all mighty.
In Ancient Greece the people honored and believe in the deities. Myths, poems, and epics
tell the stories and beliefs referring to the gods and goddesses. Many literary works
display the power and jobs of the goddesses. The Greek people lived to please the deities
in hope of gaining a better lifestyle. The goddesses of Greece acted as an important part of

Athena held the city of
Athens sacred and this city took on her name. The owl symbolizes wisdom and Athena
referred to this as her sacred bird ( Hamilton 29 ). Athena created the olive tree and
therefore holds it sacred and important. The Greeks built a temple called the Parthenon
to honor Athena. With this temple built, the Greeks had somewhere to go to place their
offerings in front of the goddess. Many Greeks thought of Athena as most important of
the goddesses ( Pinset 100 ).
Some Greeks placed high importance on Aphrodite, the goddess of love and
beauty. Aphrodite loved men and most men returned her love while women honored her

for her beauty. The Romans called her Venus but still thought of her the same way the
Greeks did. Even though the daughter of Zeus and Dione, the story of Aphrodite's birth
has many variations. The most commonly told story says that the goddess rose from the
sea foam. Aphrodite held the myrtle tree sacred along with the dove and sometimes swan.
Most commonly written of in poems and myths, Aphrodite has many stories to go along
with her reputation. The Greeks placed the goddess of love in a very important position in
regards to everyday life ( Hamilton 32 ).
Hestia, or Vesta, was also a very important, but less well known deity. Hestia's
brother Zeus gave her the role of goddess of the hearth. Hestia protected the home and
