ʻO Helene Helelaʻo Hearth a me Home
Ināʻoe e kipa iā Girka i ka lā maikaʻi maikaʻi, hiki iāʻoe keʻike a komo paha i kahi ku una me nā aʻa kahiko. Hoʻomaopopo nā kukui i nā kukui mai kahi kukui waena o ka halepule a lawe maikaʻi i ke kukui. Ke manaʻoʻia nei kēia lapalapa eʻoi loa ke kapu a hoʻomaʻemaʻe a mālama ponoʻia a hoʻi i kona home.
He kumu kēia o ka pilina me ke akua Helene Hestia.
Ua mālamaʻia nā kīʻaha lehulehu o Hestia ma kahi hale hālāwai hālāwai i kapaʻiaʻo ka prytaneion (he pelletaneum paha) a he pā kaua paha; ʻO kekahi o kāna mau inoaʻo Hestia Bouleia, ka mea i loaʻa mai ka hua'ōlelo no ka "hale hālāwai." Ua manaʻoʻiaʻo ia ma keʻanoʻo ia e hāʻawi ana i ke ahi i nā luakini'ē aʻe, no laila, he akua akua maoliʻo ia ma Helene.
Hiki i nā Helene ke kukui i ke ahi mai kona kapuahi i ka prytaneion a mālama i ke kukui i loko o ke kukui a hiki i nā ahi ahi o nā kūlanakauhale hou a me nā kūlanakauhale a i kūkulu paha i kā lākou iho ahi ma ko lākou wahi. Aia kekahi o kēia mau mea ma Olympia a me Delphi, kahi i pili pū ai me ka pōhaku omphalos, e maka ana i ka piko o ka honua. ʻO ka mea nui i kākauʻia nona, aia mai ka moku Helene o Chios aʻelua mau kiʻi i loaʻa iā ia ma ka prytoneion ma ka mokupuni hemolele o Delos; ua like paha nā kiʻi likeʻole ma nā hale malumalu Helene'ē aʻe ma ka wahi ahi.
Pōʻalua maikaʻi i Heleki
ʻO ka Pōʻalima maikaʻi he mea nui i kaʻekalesia Orthodox Greek a ua kaulana nui ia ma Helene, kahi eʻikeʻia ai e nā malihini. ʻO nāʻano'ē aʻe e hoʻomaʻamaʻaʻia ai paha,ʻo ia ka mea inu inu winika, ka paila kupa, kaʻaʻaʻole i kaʻaiʻana i ka lā āpau a pale i nā hana a pau, ke hana pū me nā kui. Hoʻololi nā kuʻuna ma kahi.
ʻO wai ka Hestia?
Hikiʻiaʻo Hestia e nā mea heluhelu hou, aʻo ia hoʻi i ka wā kahiko, ua "laweʻia"ʻo ia mai Olympus e hoʻomākaukau i kahi akua akua,ʻo Ganymede, ka mea lawe kīʻaha i nā akua a he punahele iā Zeus.
Eia ke nānā loa aku iā Hestia.
Hōʻikeʻiaʻo Hestia : He kaikamahine'ōpiopio maikaʻi a nani.
Hōʻike pinepineʻiaʻo ia i kahi pale. ʻAʻole kēia he mea'ē. He mea maʻamau nā'ōuli ma waena o nā wāhine Helene kahiko.
Ke hōʻailona a Hestia paha: Ke ahi a me ka umu ahi e'ā ana ma laila. 'Ōleloʻiaʻo ia e mālama pono.
Nā ikaika o Hestia: Mālie, mālie, akahai, a kākoʻo i kaʻohana a me ka home.
Nā nāwaliwali o kona naʻau : E hoʻoluʻolu i ka naʻau, a iki iki, akā hiki iā ia ke pale aku iā ia iho inā pono.
Nā hana a Hestia a me nā pilina: ʻOiai ua hoʻolimalimaʻiaʻo ia he wahine pono a he mea aloha paha iā Poseidon a me'Apolo,ʻo Hestia, e like me ke akua wahine Heleneʻo Artemis, kohoʻo ia e noho wahineʻole. I kekahi manawa,ʻo ia ke pale aku i nā hōʻeha o Priapus a me nā mea'ē aʻe a me nā akua'ē aʻe.
Ke keiki a Hestia: Hestiaʻaʻohe keiki, he mea'ē loa ia mai keʻano o kēia manawa i ke akua wahine o ka hearth a me ka home. Akā,ʻo ka mālamaʻana i ka "puhi ahi" ua hanaʻo ia i kahi manawa lōʻihi i ka wā kahiko, aʻo ka hoʻokuʻuʻiaʻana o ke ahi, ua manaʻoʻiaʻo ia ka hōʻailona o ka pōʻino.
Hestiaʻo ka mo'ōlelo maʻamau:ʻO Hestia ke kaikamahine mua o nā Titans Rhea lāuaʻo Kronos (he spelled Chronos). E like me ke koena o kāna mau keiki, uaʻaiʻo Kronos iā Hestia, akā ua hoʻoponoponoʻiaʻo ia e ia ma hope o ka laweʻana o Zeus i kona makuakāne. Ua noiʻo ia iā Zeus e waiho iā ia i akua akua o ka mea ahi, a ua hoʻomauʻo ia i ka ahi ahi ma ka maunaʻo Olympus .
ʻO nā mea e pili ana e pili ana iā Hestia:ʻO Hestia kekahi o nā wāhine akuaʻekolu i ka hopena o Aphrodite . ʻAʻole hiki iā ia ke koi i ke aloha i kekahi. I Roma, he akua like nō,ʻo Vesta, i noho aliʻi ma luna o ka papa o nā kāhunapule i kapaʻiaʻo nā Vestal wahine wahine nāna lākou e mālama mau i ke ahi kapu.
ʻO kona inoaʻo Hestia, a me ka akua akua o ka hoʻokele,ʻo Hephaestus, e like pū me ke kani like me kahi hua'ōlelo mua loa o "kahi ahi" a ua hoʻomau i ka'ōlelo Pelekānia ma ka hua'ōlelo "hearth."
