Hera Hera

“Since Zeus swallowed his wife when she was pregnant he allowed one of the other gods to split open his head, and out came not a son but a beautiful full-grown daughter in full armor” (Athena pag.). She was born on the river of Triton in Egypt (Athene 2000). Athena was one of Zeus’s ever trusted people that he told her where his magic shield and where the lightning bolts were. Ever since Zeus told her that she remained his constant advisor through everything (Athena pag). Athena was a very trusted person, but her battle skills are very impressive and interesting as well.

Zeus’s sister and like Athena and artemis, a virgin goddess. No distinct personality. Goddess of the hearth, the symbol of the home.

Especially after Io’s entrance and the recount of her story, Hera seems more like a jealous wife than the noble queen she is presented as in Hesiod’s work. Her attitude towards Io is blamed on Zeus, who has not only provoked Hera’s actions but is her husband and thus responsible for Hera, as it was customary in ancient Greece.

are in a time of trouble. Hera, also known as Juno, was the Olympian goddess of marriage and family. Not only did Hera rule over marriage and family, but she also ruled over women and the heavens.

Hera Juno is a jealous and angry goddess while dealing with Zeus and his many mistresses. Even though Zeus and Hera are both married, Zeus falls in love with many other women. Her jealousy guides her to "punishing the many women Zeus falls in love [with]... [no matter] how innocent [the women are]" (Hamilton, Mythology,27). Hera's jealousy guides her to disempower women because of her husband , who is culpable, lies with them. Hera does not attempt to fix her marriage at all. Her anger gets the best of her even if the women "yielded only because he coerced or tricked them" (Hamilton,27). She does not care if Zeus,himself, tricks the women; She only sees it as their fault. Hera simply lets Zeus get away with whatever he wants.

Hestia, that was worried with her brother, decided to help Hera find out what have happen and where he was. Hestia started looking for Zeus but after some time she told Hera she wouldn’t help her anymore, without explaining the reason. Hera was distrusting this situation, first Zeus disappeared, and now his sister, after agreeing that she was going to help Hera, changed her mind.

Their primary belief laid in Gods, of which the most important were Zeus, Hera, Apollo and Athena. Zeus, the king of the gods, and his wife Hera resided on mount Olympus. Of their children, Apollo was one of the better known; he was recognized by many things, amongst which were youth, music, healing, prophecy, plague and much more.

Zeus was not known for being a very loyal partner seeing as though he had many wives. Reasonably, Hera was extremely jealous of his infidelity with mortals, yet she was still able to control her anger. But eventually Zeus drove her over the edge.

Zeus used to cheat on Hera and she would get back at him and his mistresses. One of the most famous myth is that Zeus had mistresses on earth and they had a baby and Hera sent to serpents to kill the baby but the baby was half god so when the serpents tried to killed the baby, he tied the two serpents together.
