In Greek mythology, the goddess of folly is often associated with the deity Tyche, who represents chance, luck, and fate. Tyche is seen as capricious and unpredictable, embodying the whims of fortune and misfortune. In Roman mythology, the goddess of folly may be linked to the figure of Folly, as personified in works like Erasmus's "Praise of Folly."

No, Hestia did not help defeat Cronus. In Greek mythology, it was Zeus who led the overthrow of Cronus and the other Titans. Hestia played a more peaceful and domestic role as the goddess of the hearth and home.

I wonder if that is really correct.

The animal usually mentioned in connection with Hestia is the pig.

Hestia didn't have any plant symbols, but she did have a symbol, which was a fire place.

No: though swine and cows are mentioned to be sacrificed to her.

Greek myth does not allude to anything, if anything, they praise her.

Vesta is the Roman equivalent to Hestia, the Greek goddess of the hearth.

Few images of the goddess Hestia exist. A very "private person", her symbols, the sacred flame and the circle, are usually used to represent Hestia in works of art.

Hestia was goddess of fire, home and hearth, these were both associated with her and apart of her symbols.

Mother: Rhea

Father: Cronus

Sisters: Demeter, Hera

Brothers: Hades, Poseidon, Zeus

please pay no heed to this twit, and just check the truth out for yourself below


Hestia was an ancient goddess assumed in the minds and daily lives, rituals and life in the Ancient Greeks. As she was a goddess, albeit a deity, one would have to add depiction of a human likeness, much like we have done with Jesus Christ. Below are some examples of some busts that depict her assumed likeness.

Just the immediate family.

The birth of herself and her siblings, her decree to Zeus to always be a virgin because of the suitors Apollo and Poseidon sworn upon the head of Zeus; a Roman myth is accounted with Vesta (Hestia's Roman counterpart) and Priapus where he attempted to rape Hestia while she slept after a feast of Cybele, and a donkey brayed to waken her and the crowd of gods and goddesses came to her aid.

Perhaps swine.

Hestia lived on Mount Olympus, casting out only on rare occasions

Hestia is a Greek goddess, that being a girl.

Hestia eats what all the other Greek gods eat: ambrosia and nectar.

Well she is the mother of the hearth, without her, everysingle living thing would die, starting off with the gods. For their life force is intertwined with the holy fire of Olympus which is tended to all the time by mother Hestia! So she keeps us alive, and nit only that but she is in a way like Hera, for she helps in the sibling rivals in old stories and she helped in everyday fuses that went on in the house. She is that fire of the meal table, the fire of our warmly life! Hope it helped

Actually,Hestia did have a throne.But when Dionysus,the Greek god of wine and festivity was born,there were no more seats.So in courtesy to Dionysus,Hestia gave up her seat on Olympus and gave it to him.

Hestia, not wanting to be involved in the gods' quarrels, decided to leave Olympus to tend to her sacred hearth. She became a lesser goddess in the same ranks of Pan and Dionysus, the latter of whom later rose to the place of Olympian when Zeus chose him to take Hestia's place.
