Hestia (Vesta), the daughter of Kronos (Cronus) and Rhea, sister of Zeus and Hera, goddess of home and hearth and an eternal virgin. For this reason she is a goddess much less known than Athena or Aphrodite.
One of various interpretations is that these sculptures Parthenon East pediment are Hestia (or Leto ?), Dione with her daughter Aphrodite, 447-432 BC http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/sculptureindex?entry=Parthenon+East+Pediment
