Hestia

Hestia is the Olympian Goddess of the Hearth and Family, and is the eldest child of Kronos and Rhea.

Biography
The firstborn child of Rhea and Kronos, Hestia was the first ever Olympian to come into existence. Her father, recognizing her as a more advanced being than a Titan such as himself, and fearing the curse that his father, Ouranos had bestowed upon him to suffer the fate Kronos had inflicted on Ouranos, Kronos swallowed his child whole. Hestia spent her childhood, along with her other siblings, who were also swallowed, inside her father’s belly, until being freed by her youngest brother, Zeus. After her escape, Hestia attempted to dissuade her siblings from going to war with the Titans, but in that, she failed. Whilst her siblings journeyed to Tartarus to free the Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkhieres, Hestia accompanied her mother Rhea in travelling to meet with various Titans, and convinced them not to participate in the war. After Kronos’s defeat, Hestia took on the role of Goddess of Family. Years later, when the gods Poseidon and Apollo were both vying for her hand in marriage, Hestia swore an eternal vow of chastity, choosing to devote herself to protecting and caring for her family instead of starting her own.
