Oracle of Hestia
Hey. I'm the Oracle of Hestia."What?!" you ask. "What the heck is an oracle?" or "Who the heck is Hestia?"" or "Why does Hestia even need an oracle?" or "LIAR!"
Yes, I'm the Oracle of Hestia.
Responses:
A.) An oracle is a person who the Greek gods speak their prophecies through. Most often it's Apollo or Zeus or Gaia who have Oracles. Usually not Hestia, though.
B.) Hestia is the goddess of the home and the hearth in Greek Mythology. Many consider her "first daughter of Kronos, goddess of the hearth, fire, and the home, gave up her throne for Dionysus" and say she's unimportant. But there's so much more to Hestia, in my opinion. Ever so much more!
C.) Why would Hestia need an oracle? Well, maybe it's not an oracle in he conventional sense, but Hestia will listen to anyone's problems. She is the patroness of the home, and wishes to make sure everyone has a home. I, her Oracle, act as a sort of "second Hestia", who tries to listen to people's problems and tries to give everyone a home. I also spit out prophecies from time to time, usually about family and things.
D.) Maybe I am, maybe I'm not.
Do you wish to ask the oracle a question?
