In The Last Olympian, when Hestia tells Percy that he has to understand Luke’s family to understand Luke, I don’t think she was talking about Luke’s mom. The way May Castellan was, it had a hand in making Luke the man he was, but the whole oracle/curse thing gives more characterization for Hermes and for Hades than it does for Luke, and it’s not anything that helps defeat Kronos. Luke’s family Hestia’s referring to is Annabeth. Telling Percy that Luke loves Annabeth like a little sister actually is helpful advice for defeating Kronos, because Percy’s decision to hand Luke the knife is, you know, the decision, and he knows it’s the right one once he realizes the significance of Luke and Annabeth’s relationship. So when Hestia shows Percy the vision of Luke and Thalia adopting Annabeth, it’s actually some of the most important guidance any god gives team CHB in the whole book, even if it takes Percy a while to understand.

So my point here is that Hestia is incredibly important. Percy says this when he gives her Pandora’s pithos, but there’s still not a lot of attention given to how she is incredibly important. More than that, she didn’t just happen to be the one that knows Luke’s found family is the key to saving the world, she’s the only one who could have known. She’s the goddess of the home, so it’s her power to know what/who a person cares for and who cares for them, just like Ares can sense passion and Aphrodite can sense romantic attraction. It’s not lightning bolts or tidal waves, but I think Hestia’s is the coolest power of any god. What could be more important than magically knowing what’s important?
