Pre 475 A.D. • I chose this picture because it shows Hestia. It shows her with some of her attributes, a flowered branch and a veil. She is, in my opinion, not comely. I don’t mean to offend the gods but she does not appeal to me. Other than that, she is very nice, not as pretty as Aphrodite, but still nice. In the closing, the picture shows her with what she would probably look with. Hestia, Athenian red-figure kylix C5th B.C.
Modern • I chose this picture to represent Hestia in the modern terms. It shows her in what she would be described as, a goddess of hearth, home and sacrificial flame. She is shown with her veil and lots of food. As an inference, the food is probably a portion of every sacrifice for the gods and goddess since she is the goddess of sacrificial flame. All and all, this picture is an accurate depiction of Hestia. Provenance is unknown
