固有名詞

Vesta f (genitive Vestae); first declension

1. (Roman mythology, religion) Vesta, goddess of the hearth and the household, equivalent to Greek Hestia.
   • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti VI.283–288:

     cur sit virginibus, quæris, dea culta ministris? / inveniam causas hac quoque parte suas. / ex Ope Iunonem memorant Cereremque creatas / semine Saturni; tertia Vesta fuit. / utraque nupserunt, ambæ peperisse feruntur; / de tribus impatiens restitit una viri.

     Why, you ask, is the goddess tended by virgin ministers? I’ll discover the true causes for this as well. They say that Juno and Ceres were born of Ops by Saturn’s seed; Vesta was the third daughter. The other two married, both reported to have borne children; of the three, one remained who could not bear a husband.
