Question:

Hestia, the greek goddess?

I need to write a 5 page research paper on her, and in the paper i have to compare her to a celebrity that shares her personality traits. Hestia (Roman: Vesta) is the goddess of the hearth. She was always mentioned when blessing food, she was thought to keep peace in city-states, and she was charitable. She flies under the radar because she is hardly ever mentioned in myths. The celebrity would have to be charitable and peace loving, but it'd really help if they were well known yet very chill and not involved in scandal. Please and thank you.

  1. And, paradoxically, she was the goddess of home and hearth but was an eternal virgin--so not a mother-figure but a spinster aunt.  Or a famous nun?  Like Mother Teresa?


  2. I'd go with Mother Theresa.

  3. Sounds like Oprah to me. She's known for her charity, she's done a lot of good and bringing people together, which is like peacekeeping, and she loves food. Well, and she's helped people with weight problems by publicizing diet methods and her own struggle with food on her show. She's not exactly a homebody or under the radar, but she does have her Oprah Home magazine.
