Hebe

Goddess of youth and spring. Hebe was the daughter of Zeus and Hera. She was the sister of Ares and Eileithyia, and possibly of Eris. Hebe was honoured in Olympus as the cupbearer of the gods, in which she was sometimes known by the name Ganymeda.

She married Heracles when the hero became a god at his death.

When Heracles' children (Heraclids) were persecuted by Eurystheus, a cousin of Heracles and king of Mycenae, no one was willing to offer them refuge. Iolaüs (Iolaus), Heracles' nephew and companion, was their only protector and guardian. Iolaüs was no longer young and he prayed to the gods. On her husband's behalf, Hebe restored Iolaüs for a single day. Young again, Iolaüs fought a battle. Eventually Iolaüs killed Eurystheus. Eurystheus was beheaded. Eurystheus' head was brought to Alcmene, mother of Heracles. Angry at the king's (nephew's) persecution of her son and her grandchildren, Alcmene gouged out Eurystheus' eyes.
