History
In Greek mythology, virgin Hestia, (Roman Vesta) daughter of Cronus and Rhea, (ancient Greek Ἑστία') is the goddess of the hearth, of the right ordering of domesticity and the family, who received the first offering at every sacrifice in the household. In the public domain, the hearth of the prytaneum functioned as her official sanctuary. With the establishment of a new colony, flame from Hestia's public hearth in the mother city would be carried to the new settlement.
