The provenance file on Hebe
The provenance file for Hebe. Nothing here is unsourced; that is what the file is for.
Provenance
1. The attestation. Ἥβη — "Youth (from ἥβη)".
2. The narrative record. Origins — Hebe appears in greek tradition as youth, cupbearer. The name's meaning, "Youth (from ἥβη)", shapes the narratives told about this figure. Worship and Memory — Devotees and later tradition-keepers preserved Hebe in ritual, text, and iconography, ensuring the name survived into the modern scholarly record.
3. The current holding. The temple at /hebe/, classified Tier 1. Tier-1 is not a compliment; it is a measurement. This restoration keeps something the ASCII form provably loses, and the measurement is repeatable.
4. The documented resonances. Forestry, Conservation & Outdoor Industries, Environmental & Climate Services, Pet Care & Animal Industries — seats argued and weighted in the pattern atlas, read through the myths in this temple's Resonance File.
5. The primary sources. Theogony, Homeric Hymns, Works and Days — the library this file answers to, open at the Sacred Texts collection.
6. The continuing record. Hebe remains a touchstone for understanding greek religion, art, and identity.

The Discipline It Answers To
This restoration belongs to Greek, a tradition that invented both the chorus and the critique. The rules that govern it are not house style; they are the tradition's own scholarship, applied with the same care here as in any edition — and published, with the sources, so the file can be checked the way an edition can be checked. Tier-1 is not a compliment; it is a measurement. This restoration keeps something the ASCII form provably loses, and the measurement is repeatable.
