Hestia

Burnin' down the house
Era
Olympian, domestic wing
Provenance
The hearth, center of everything
Medium
Single-ink woodcut, black on cream
Edition
Eternal flame edition

Hestia never left home, never took sides, and never let the fire go out, making her the only Olympian with a perfect attendance record. The title is a base slander — she has never burned down anything. She simply maintains the one fire that matters and lets the rest of the family generate the drama.
