Hebe, << HEE bee >>, was a goddess in Greek mythology who served nectar to the gods and goddesses on Mount Olympus. She was the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods, and of the goddess Hera. The name Hebe comes from a Greek word meaning youth or prime of life. The nectar Hebe served was believed to keep the gods and goddesses youthful. After the hero Heracles (Hercules in Latin) was made a god, Hebe became his wife. See also Hercules.
