Theory: Hebe’s Sister

By Cara

In Episode 30, Hera tells Hebe to go wake up her older sister. We have yet to meet Hebe’s older sister in Lore Olympus.

We have two possibilities for who Hebe’s older sister could be.

Eris

Eris is the goddess of discord and strife. She is known as the goddess who indirectly caused the Trojan War, by tossing the Apple of Discord, addressing it as “the most beautiful goddess.” This led to Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena arguing on who gets the apple.

In some myths, Eris is an offspring of Nyx, however, in some, she is the daughter of Zeus and Hera.

Eileithyia

Eileithyia is the goddess of childbirth and midwifery. According to Hesiod, she is the daughter of Zeus and Hera. Homer writes her as the personification of birth pain.

In mythology, she is later associated with either Hera or Artemis. She is known as the goddess who interfered with Heracles’ birth, under the instructions of her mother, Hera.
