𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐬:
Hestia doesn't appear in many myths, except for two. Plato says that this is because she has to remain in the house of the gods, all alone, tending the eternal celestial fire even when all the other Olympians ritually pass in processions through heavens. This is both her privilege and her predicament.
