FLIOUS (Ancient city) NEMEA
(Hebe). Daughter of Zeus and Here, and goddess of eternal youth.
She was represented as the handmaiden of the gods, for whom she pours out their
nectar, and the consort of Heracles after his apotheosis. She was worshipped with
Heracles in Sicyon and Phlius, especially under the name Ganymede or Dia. She
was represented as freeing men from chains and bonds, and her rites were celebrated
with unrestrained merriment. The Romans identified Hebe with Iuventas, the personification
of youthful manhood. As representing the eternal youth of the Roman State, Iuventas
had a chapel on the Capitol in the front court of the Temple of Minerva, and in
later times a temple of her own in the city . It was to Iupiter and Iuventas that
boys offered prayer on the Capitol when they put on the toga virilis, putting
a piece of money into their treasury. Two fine poems in English are suggested
by the myth of Hebe--one the Fall of Hebe, by Thomas Moore, and the other, Hebe,
by James Russell Lowell.
