Hebe was the daughter of Jupiter and Juno. She waited upon the gods and
filled their cups with nectar with which it was their wont to pledge
each other. But one day she awkwardly tripped and fell, and was forced
to resign her office to Ganymede.
She married Hercules after he was received among the gods. Later
traditions represent her as a divinity who had it in her power to make
aged persons young again.
