Hestia is the Greek goddess of the hearth, a fireplace used to cook food and keep people warm.

She is the older sister of Demeter and Hera, and she is the sister of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Her mother is Rhea and Kronos. When the new god, Dionysus, came to Mount Olympus she gave up her seat for him.
