The Virgin Goddesses (or maiden goddesses) are Artemis, Athena, and Hestia. This means that they do not marry and have children the usual way or not at all. Athena's children are literally born from her thoughts. It is the meeting of minds. Athena thinks that it is the purest kind of love. Artemis does not have children as she detests males. Hestia swore to Zeus that she would never marry.
