    Honestly, I think Hestia deserves a video. She is the most mature AND the ONLY god to never act on rage, punishing someone. Not even after Priapus. She was nice, warm, forgiving... A pinnacle of righteousness. Also, she's not very well known. Most have never heard her name or know what she's the goddess of. I believe she deserves some light.

      That's pretty much how the Greeks felt, honestly. They were more scared of Zeus than adorers.

The ancients worshiped their gods not to win their favor so much as to avoid their wrath.

    "His sister, Hestia, would tend to the ever burning hearth fire in the center of his grand hall, which, unless I'm missing something, is a pretty lame job for a goddess to have."
    Yeah, Jon, you missed something. That ever burning hearth fire was the fire that kept all fires in the homes of the mortals that warmed them and cooked their food. If this fire ever went out, mankind would parish. Okay, yeah, the person poking a stick at a fire does seem lame for a goddess, but would you want Jane-Nobody watching over the fire of life for mankind? She also had another important job, (at least as far as the Gods were concerned, and more suitable for the stature of a Goddess,) Hestia was responsible for presiding over every and all sacrifices. So, if you were sacrificing a few oxen for Zeus's birthday, you had better hope Hestia was attending the party, otherwise Zeus isn't getting his sacrifice, and we know how that can ruin someone's day (or life.)

Prometheus stole the secrets of fire to give to mankind, giving mortals the ability to utilize fire. 2.

      @@lilchristuten7568 no, you misunderstood. Hestia was in charge of the hearth AFTER mankind learned how to create and utilize fire. There would not be a hearth for her to tend to until then. Hestia's job(s) seem to more or less come into existence as mankind began to become "intelligent" more or less. Take her job of residing over sacrifices, until humans understood the concept of sacrifices to the Gods, Hestia would not have had that job. It does really seem, in the Greek mythos, that Hestia is a very reserved and humble Goddess, especially compared to the rest of the Gods in general. All the rest are always shown to be hot tempered, violent, vengeful, often lustful. I'll admit, the first time I had heard of Hestia, she was over all described as "staying out of the limelight." Most religious acknowledgment of her was in the form of small statuettes and/or alters in the homes of the Greeks.
      There have been a lot of women throughout history who's job it was to look after home and hearth. Would you call their jobs "unimportant?" If so, you might have more issues than Greek Mythology.

      Oh the Irony that Hera is the goddess of marriage. She was forced into the marriage cause Zeus raped her while in the form of a bird and Zeus cheats more than a lazy GTA player.

When I was in high school I came across my mom's college book regarding the subject matter and read it in it's entirety. Subsequently, I took a Greek mythology course while in college. I know how messed up it is. You're doing a GREAT job presenting this subject. Thank-you, Jon! We appreciate your efforts. We appreciate the time and sweat you pour into your videos. We LOVE your sense of humor. And yes, I'm intentionally including at least 94% of your fans with myself as part of that number. (Not scientific, but I'll bet the numbers work, lol)

For example in the Greek myth of Helen of Troy the APPLE thrown says “for the most beautiful”, some translations said “for the fairest of them all”. Another one from Norse mythology. Not sure the exact name of the myth but look up “Thor looses his hammer” but it has some parallels with red riding-hood. You should look into it, it’s super interesting
