In Greek mythology, Hebe is the goddess of youth and the divine cup. She is the daughter of Zeus and Hera, and her story is marked by both grace and humor. Before her marriage to Heracles (Hercules in Roman mythology), Hebe served as the cupbearer to the gods of Mount Olympus, offering nectar and ambrosia, the food and drink that granted immortality to the gods.
One of the most charming stories about Hebe is her marriage to Heracles. While she was initially promised to the hero Athena, a comical moment during a banquet changed the course of events. Hebe accidentally dropped the divine cup, causing laughter among the gods. Heracles, enchanted by Hebe's joy, asked for her hand in marriage, and the gods agreed to the union.
Hebe, with her eternal youth and vitality, symbolizes the celebration of life and divine joy. Her presence at the Olympian feasts represents the youthful energy she brings to the world of the gods.
