Even Athena has a child in some accounts.

I’d go with storytelling and the transmission of knowledge. Hestia’s virgin-birthed child would be a Bard with the fascinate and suggestion abilities. But it’s not just about telling a story: it’s about telling a believable story that then is believed as TRUTH. So much so, that this individual has the ability to shape how all of history is recorded.

How do you feel about the audition process in opera? Is there any other industry in which it is standard practice for applicants have to pay a fee for a job interview? Why aren’t the first round auditions done blind?

There’s the one where she’s running away fro her rapey brother Haephestus, and she gets away, but some of his seed falls on her leg. She wipes it off, and where it falls to the ground a kid pops up. I think there is something about her keeping him locked in a chest.
This form of “birth by having semen fall on you” pops up in at least one other place: Aphrodite and all the children of Uranus and Gaia that came into being when he had his junk chopped off.
This is a writing prompt. You can make up your own version of Greek Myths. Humans have been doing it for at least 2k years. Hestia having a kid is easy to imagine given just how rapey the material is.
