Скачать или смотреть [Myth-meets-science] Hestia: The Quiet Flame of the Gods

In Myth-meets-science, we explore how the goddess of the hearth still glows in our homes, our science, and even our future.

When we think of Greek gods, we often imagine thunderbolts, epic battles, and dramatic adventures. But not every Olympian was loud or flashy. Some, like Hestia, carried a quieter kind of power—the warmth of fire, the safety of home, and the glow of togetherness.

In this episode of Myth-meets-science, we dive into the story of Hestia, the goddess of the hearth. She didn’t rule the skies like Zeus or the seas like Poseidon. Instead, she chose the hearth fire, the center of every home and city in ancient Greece. Her flame symbolized peace, family, and community—and it was so important that it was never allowed to go out.

Then, we connect her myth to real science. What is fire, really? From the “fire triangle” of heat, fuel, and oxygen, to the giant burning gases of the sun, we explore how flames shaped human survival and still power our world today.

And we don’t stop there—together, we imagine the future. From solar panels that capture sunlight to the possibility of keeping cozy fires on Mars, Hestia’s spirit of warmth and home will always travel with us.
