                    Cronos had married one of the Titans named Rheia, and he was determined not to let any of his children rebel against him like he had done with his father, so after every baby was born Cronos Promptly swallowed them. He swallowed 5 of these babies in the same manner, until Rheia finally decided that she wanted some
children to play with so when the next baby was born she hid the baby away on the island of Crete. Then she presented a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes, and Cronos swallowed the rock. There the baby (Zeus) grew up until Rheia told Zeus what had happened with his brothers and sisters. Zeus and Rheia finally made Cronos throw up his brothers and sisters. Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Posiedon. Then Zeus made war on Cronos and won. This is the birth of Hestia.

                There are three goddesses in Olympus whose hearts were never touched by Aphrodite, the goddess of love. One of these was Hestia. She was the eldest born of the children of Cronos, and youngest too. Apollo and Poseidon sought to wed her, but she refused outright; and touching the head of Zeus, she swore to remain a maiden all her days. Zeus then gave her a high place in the house. There she guards the hearth and tends the fire, like a good housewife. This is one of the achievements of Hestia.
