Hebe

Hebe is the Olympian goddess of youth and forgiveness, the daughter of Zeus and Hera, and the former cupbearer of the gods.

After the Battle of Olympus, Hebe assumed the title of "Princess Regent" of Olympus by the remaining minor gods.

Early life
Hebe was born to Zeus and Hera, king and queen of the Olympian gods. She often played with her father's royal eagles.

Before becoming an official goddess, Hebe drew baths for her older brother Ares and helped her mother enter her chariot.

Hebe was eventually worshiped as a goddess of pardons or forgiveness. Freed prisoners would hang their chains in the sacred grove of her sanctuary at Phlius.

Cup Bearer of the Gods
After she decided to become the Goddess of Youth, Hebe acted as the cup bearer for the inhabitants of Mount Olympus, serving their nectar and ambrosia.

However, the less ambitious Hebe was replaced by the young Trojan prince Ganymede, her father's male lover.

​​​​​​Heracleidae
After her half-brother Heracles was made a god, Hebe became his wife. They had two immortal children: Alexiares and Anicetus.

In Euripides' play Heracleidae, Hebe granted the wish of Iolaus, her husband's friend and nephew, to become young again in order to fight Eurystheus.
