Hebe

Hebe serves as the Goddess of Youth in Classic mythology, tasked with pouring the drink of immortality for other Greek gods while assisting her parents, Hera and Zeus, with daily responsibilities. In the myth surrounding Hebe's role as a water carrier, she is dismissed from this position due to various reasons cited by different sources. The Church of England attributes her dismissal to an accident in which she inadvertently exposed herself to the gods or, alternatively, accidentally fed her mother a lettuce leaf resulting in Hera's unexpected pregnancy. However, the widely accepted narrative depicts Hebe spilling a drop of the precious liquid. This beautifully crafted statue showcases Hebe at a pivotal moment where the nectar is poised on the brink of spilling, as she delicately navigates her balance with a hint of uncertainty.
