Good day dear community, first of all I would like to welcome you all to my new post and hope you had a day that brought some interesting experiences into your life! In this post, I would like to talk a little about Greek mythology and hope I can learn new things.
The plant that can be seen here also bears the name hebe and was named after the Greek goddess which is also known as the personification of eternal youth and she had the ability to reverse the aging process of people and knows the secret of the young appearance. Hebe is also considered the daughter of Zeus and Hera and is usually portrayed as a beautiful woman with a youthful charisma and she already lived in her early years in the Mount Olympus which is also known as the seat of the gods and she had the task of helping the gods and especially she was known to give them nectar and ambrosia which is also known as a divine food which could only be consumed by the gods and their children. Nectar and ambrosia was also considered the favorite food of the gods and had the ability to give immortality and if people should get into the hands of it, it could trigger strong side effects for them and who had reported a lot about this food was the well-known poet Homer and hebe also had the task of preparing other food for the gods. In the later course, she married the well-known hero Heracles and was replaced in her task and the Trojan prince Ganymede was considered the new servant of the gods and according to another tradition, she was replaced because she was too clumsy in her work and not everyone was enthusiastic about this change at the time and so it was hera who stand up that hebe should continue this task. Hebe was considered an intelligent goddess who, in addition to the ability to rejuvenate people, could also perform healing miracles and in Ancient Greece she had different places of worship and was revered in different places and in the visual arts she can often be seen together with a vase with which she just hands over the food to the gods. The Roman equivalent of her is also known under the name of Juventas and even though there are only a few legends about her, she had an important meaning in Greek mythology and was considered an important deity.
