Mythology Posters Series: Hebe
The ancient greek goddess of youth was a daughter of Zeus and Hera. She was the cupbearer of the Gods and Goddesses of Mount Olympus until she married the hero Heracles, and Ganymed took her place. She also drew baths for her brother Ares and helped Hera enter her chariot.Hebe was supposed to have the power to give eternal youth, and in art is typically seen with her father in the guise of an eagle, often offering a cup to him. This depiction is seen in classical engraved gems as well as later art and seems to relate to a belief that the eagle (like the phoenix) had the ability to renew itself to a youthful state.
