She was also the patron goddess of the young bride & an attendant of the goddess Aphrodite. Herakles (Heracles) received Hebe in marriage upon his ascension to Olympos, a wedding which reconciled the hero with Hebe's mother Hera. in Greek vase painting Hebe was depicted either as the bride of Herakles, or the cupbearer of the gods, pouring ambrosia from a pitcher. Sometimes she had wings like the goddesses Iris & Nike. Hebe's male counterpart was the boy Ganymedes & her opposite number was Geras (Old Age). She may have been equated with Selene's daughter Pandeia. Her Roman name was Juventas. HEBE (Hêbê), the personification of youth, is described as a daughter of Zeus & Hera & is according to the Iliad the minister of the gods, who fills their cups with nectar she assists Hera in putting the horses to her chariot & she bathes & dresses her brother Ares. According to the Odyssey she was married to Heracles after his apotheosis. Later traditions, however, describe her as having become by Heracles the mother of two sons, Alexiares & Anticetus & as a divinity who had it in her power to make persons of an advanced age young again. She was worshipped at Athens, where she had an altar in the Cynosarges, near one of Heracles. At Rome the goddess was worshipped under the corresponding name of Juventas, & that at a very early time, for her chapel on the Capitol existed before the temple of Jupiter was built there & she, as well as Terminus, is said to have opposed the consecration of the temple of Jupiter.
