Hebe, the Greek goddess of Youth, (Roman: Juventas), was the daughter of Jupiter and Juno and wed Hercules on his apotheosis to Olympus, the seat of the gods. She was cupbearer and general handmaiden to the gods, hence the winged caps to the front of the altar below the dial in the present design. A wine ewer and cup were her attributes.
