Hestia

Hestia was the virgin goddess of the hearth, family, and peace, and the inventor of domestic architecture. She was the daughter of Cronus and Rhea and Zeus's sister. Of all the Olympians, she is the mildest, most upright and most charitable. She was one if the members of the Virgin Triad. Athena and Artemis were the other members.

There is only one myth that I could find with Hestia in it. When she was at a wedding feast she declared by Zeus' head that she would remain a vigin the rest of her life. Durning the night a man tried to take liberties on her. An ass brayed and woke her and she screams frightened the man away.
