Artemis, has her hunters and takes the form of a 13 year old so..... yeah. Hestia, however is the goddess of home and warmth so I'm surprised she stayed a virgin in the first place. Honestly, I thinks its because they never had children in Ancient Greek Byzantine or Roman times. Like if they never had children back then, what would make them want children know. Rick tries to stick to the stuff originally fathomed by the Greeks. Like, several gods(Poseidon,Hermes,Dionysus) had children with men so that would be possible. Your explanations for Hera and Artemis makes sense to me. However, like you said, it's odd Hestia didn't want kids. When did Poseidon, Dionysus and Hermes have babies with another male? I'm not familiar with the myth. Poseidon: http://www.theoi.com/Pontios/Nerites.html
