This statue of Hebe standing tall in Sturt Street is a religious reference to the youth. She holds aloft the cup of youth while the flask or jug of knowledge hangs in her fallen arm. Both Hebe and Ruth as iconic figures face each other across their garden beds forming a part of the sculptural vista of Sturt St. Hebe, Greek Goddess of Youth and the biblical figure Ruth, were the gift of wealthy local benefactor John Permewan, who owned carrier firm Permewan & Wright. He commissioned Charles Summers to sculpt both of the women figures. The artwork is of aesthetic and historical significance to the people of Ballarat.Marble sculptural depiction of the Greek goddess Hebe Presented to The City Council of Ballaarat by John Permewan J.P. 1899/ Unveiled 3 April 1889. / This wealthy gentleman of the firm of carriers Permewan & Wright, was also an investor.hebe
