In English
Hestia is Zeus's sister. As the protector of the family hearth,
Hestia, protects the families and the home. She was worshiped by every
family in ancient Greece. Hestia grew tired of the arguments and disagreements
of the Olympian gods and left Olympus. That does not mean that she was not important
for the ancient Greeks. Hestia almost never got involved, like the other gods,
in human wars and affairs.
Her place in Olympus was given to Dionysus.
In Greek
Η Εστία είναι αδελφή του Δία. Σαν προστάτιδα της οικογενειακής εστίας,
η Εστία, προστατεύει τις οικογένειες και το σπίτι. Λατρεύτηκε από κάθε οικογένεια
στην αρχαία Ελλάδα. Η Εστία κουράστηκε με τις φιλονικίες και τις διαφορές
των Ολυμπίων θεών και άφησε τον Όλυμπο. Αυτό δεν σημαίνει ότι δεν ήταν σημαντική
στους αρχαίους Έλληνες. Η Εστία σχεδόν ποτέ δεν
μπλέχτηκε, όπως οι άλλοι
θεοί, με ανθρώπινους πολέμους και υποθέσεις.
Η θέση της στον Όλυμπο δώθηκε στον Διόνυσο.
