Did you know about the fountain of youth in Greek mythology?

[dubai_suzie]

Many different cultures have fountain of youths in their folklor. And the fountain appears many times in Greek mythology. One place where it appears is with Hebe. Hebe was the Greek mythological goddess who represented youth, and she was also the cupbearer of the gods on Mount Olympus. Since she is the goddess of youth, she is also associated with early tales concerning a water source that some believe is the fabled Fountain of Youth. However, any references to this water source concerning Hebe were not overtly referred to as this fabled fountain. The myth seemed to have grown much later.

This is so cool. Looks like the fountain of youth theme has made its way into the mythology of cultures all over the world. I knew about it from South American stories, and it's cool that it is in Greek mythology, as well.
