Doubtless many parents in times past could not get access to Hebe's famous sanctuaries at Athens and Sicyon and instead of the long journey, would visit the nearest temple of a Goddess, perhaps Hera for example, and there may have been an altar where prayers could be directed to a chosen Goddess. 
    In this way Hebe could be contacted. Though simply speaking her name wherever you happen to be makes contact, at least so that she knows. But the Greeks assumed one could only do this in a temple, this is not so.

We cannot confirm whether Hebe is the daughter of Zeus and Hera. In all our encounters she has never spoken of this. The most enduring myth tells of how she fell over during a feast while dispensing drinks to the Gods, and as a result of this embarrassing indiscretion was replaced by Ganymede.
    This particular myth is probably associated with ancient Greek domestic structure, and the role of daughters in the household was to serve adults. So this myth may be a simple warning to wayward individuals to be good, take care for if you slip up you will be replaced by your brother. 
    Perhaps. It’s just an idea to account for this silly story.

But Goddesses have so much power and control they would never fall over and even if Hebe did at a feast the Gods and Goddesses have so much respect and love for each other. Some would have roared with laughter in the knowledge she would join in, and thus ease her embarrassment. She would only be replaced if she herself wanted it.

The myth may also have links to the ceremonies that took place in Hebe’s sanctuaries, ceremonies long forgotten but remembered in faint echo in the myth of Hebe’s fall while serving drinks. On one occasion I had a glimpse inside one of Hebe’s sanctuaries. It was March 1994:
    ‘I saw a smallish temple all blue and gold and white inside. I saw a stone altar and at the foot was laid a golden cloth. I watched as forty or so people came in and then a man and a woman entered, the woman carried a baby. On each side of the altar stood a priest and priestess. The woman placed the baby on the golden cloth and then stepped backward. The priest spoke a few words, which I could not understand, and then the priestess picked up the two bottom corners of the cloth and half covered the naked baby.

She then moved to one side and clapped her hands and a boy appeared carrying a tray with two goblets which he passed to the child’s parents. They drank the wine and the goblets were taken away by the boy. The priest said a few more words and the parents picked up the baby then left the temple.
    Hebe spoke:
    “This young baby has been accepted. You realise there are so many of us, each of us has a different role to play. I spend time with the young.”

Thus there are some deities whose function seems more human orientated than others. Their work focuses on humans, just as say Diana and Fauna oversee the animal kingdoms. It is highly likely Hebe is one such Goddess. During many encounters she has spoken of the situation of young people in the modern world, and we do believe she helps in stressful situations. Even more so for those who are aware of her.
