Hebe

Hebe (Greek: Ἥβη) is a figure from Greek mythology, known as the goddess of youth. She is the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods, and Hera, the queen of the gods and goddess of marriage. Hebe's primary role in mythology is to serve as the cupbearer for the gods of Olympus, offering them nectar and ambrosia to maintain their immortality. Her name, Hebe, translates to Youth in Greek. In Latin, she is known as Juventas, which also means youth. In Hebrew, her name can be translated as Hevah (הֶבָה). Hebe's significance in Greek mythology lies in her association with eternal youth and her role in the divine hierarchy. She is often depicted as a beautiful young woman, symbolizing the eternal youth and vitality of the gods. Her mythological importance is further highlighted by her marriage to Heracles (Hercules in Roman mythology), a hero who achieved godhood after his death, signifying the union of mortal heroism and divine immortality.
