Hestia is the virgin goddess of the hearth, the right ordering of domesticity, the family, the home & the state. Hestia received the first offering at every sacrifice in the household. In the public domain, the hearth of the prytaneum functioned as her official sanctuary, &, when a new colony was established, a flame from Hestia's public hearth in the mother city would be carried to the new settlement. Vesta is her Roman equivalent.
