Hebe: Goddess of Youth<br />

Hebe Hebe, Hebe the goddess of youth, was the daughter of Zeus <strong>and</strong> Hera. Hebe served for a<br />

long time as cup bearer <strong>to</strong> the gods, serving them their nectar <strong>and</strong> ambrosia. She was<br />

replaced in this office by the Trojan prince Ganymede.<br />

According <strong>to</strong> one s<strong>to</strong>ry, she resigned as cup bearer <strong>to</strong> the gods upon her marriage <strong>to</strong><br />

the hero Hercules, who had just been deified. In another, she was dismissed from her<br />

position because of a fall she suffered while in attendance on the gods.
