Estia, the Goddess of Insomnia: A Brief History

Estia's Icon

Estia, the ancient Greek goddess of insomnia, was often depicted as a woman with the head of a cat, surrounded by a halo of fireflies. Her powers allowed her to drive mortals mad with sleeplessness, but also granted her the ability to see into the hearts of those who sought her out.

Estia's worship was not without controversy. Many believed that her powers were a blessing in disguise, as they allowed her followers to tap into the deep well of creativity and insight that only came from a well-rested mind. Others saw her as a malevolent force, preying on the weak and the weary.

Despite the controversy, Estia's influence can still be seen today in the modern world. From the late-night infomercials to the 3am pizza delivery services, Estia's legacy lives on.

But be warned, mortals: Estia's powers are not to be trifled with. Those who seek her out may find themselves driven to the brink of madness and despair.
