Hebe, Goddess of Forgiveness? Empty Hebe, Goddess of Forgiveness?

Post  AgathonZante Sat Jan 03, 2015 5:53 am

I've heard Hebe referred to as a Goddess of Forgiveness, or a Spirit of Forgiveness for those who don't see Her as a Goddess. Is this an accurate attribute?

One could, perhaps, make a case for it – however, Hebe is foremost the divine representation of youth. That is the meaning of her name (Greek: 'Ήβη / Latin: Iuventas).

That seems to be how she was worshiped at Phleious. Both there and at Sicyon, she was a major goddess.
