In the narrations of Greek Mythology, Estia was the sister of Zeus. At first, she was an Olympian herself, the goddess of sacred fire, while later she let God Dionysus ascent to that throne. Her name’s meaning is ‘the essence’ – the true nature of things. Estia is the virgin goddess of the heart that resides in a home, thus the word Estia in Greek means home.
