The Goddess Of The Harvest

Hercules was the child of Zeus and Alcmena, who was the wife of a well respected Greek warrior. Hera, Zeus's wife despised Hercules because he was living proof of her husband's infidelity. When he was a baby she sent snakes to kill Hercules, which because of his incredible strength he was able to strangle. Hera eventually drove Hercules insane and caused him to kill his family.

Hera, his most hated enemy, caused most of the things that have gone wrong in Hercules life. When Hera found out that Zeus had broken his vow by laying with another woman she tried to stop Hercules from being born. She sent the goddess of birth, Ilithyia to sit cross-legged to stop Hercules’ birth. The article Heracles says that Ilithyia would have killed Heracles if Alcmene’s servant had not fooled Ilithyia, who mislead Ilithyia by saying that Alcmene had given birth to Hercules. The article also says that “Upon hearing this, she jumped in surprise, untying the knots and inadvertently allowing Alcmene to give birth to her twins, Heracles and Iphicles”. Then Hera sped up the birth of Eurystheus to allow him to become the sole ruler of the vast empire Hercules was meant to rule. She then sent two great snakes to kill Hercules, but having Zeus’ great strength he killed the two snakes. Hercules went on to marry Megara and had three sons. Cartwright says that Hera once again disrupted Hercules life and drove him insane so he killed Megara and his three sons. Hera then guided the oracle to

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.

Greek mythology has been passed on and retold over generations. Literature and movies have been created to entertain as well as provide specific themes based off of myths. There are many heroes that mythology talks about and each one has lived an epic life, but there is one famous hero that has been immortalized throughout history. Hercules is the son of Zeus and a mortal named Alcmene. Zeus impregnated her while her husband was away and this is where his story began. Zeus' wife, Hera, found out about the affair and was outrageous about his careless actions. She tried to prevent Hercules' birth; however, when that didn't work she sent snakes to kill the baby. Hercules was too mighty for the snakes and strangled them before they could even hurt him. As stated in this source, "Hera remained angry. How could she get even? Hera knew that she would lose in a fight, and that she wasn't powerful enough to prevent Zeus from having his way. Hera decided to pay Zeus back for his infidelity by making the rest of Hercules' life as miserable as she could" (Crane WEB). Hercules grew up to be a great young warrior and was all around. With this god-like strength, also came an uncontrollable temper that made him react at times without thinking, but later made him realize the wrongdoings of his violence. He later then married a woman named Megara and had two beautiful children. But one day, Hera instilled a fit of rage into Hercules and made him slaughter his family with his very own hands. He was shocked by his actions and asked Apollo for assistance since he was drowning in guilt. Apollo later then gave him specific tasks to help Hercules redeem himself for the bloodshed he caused. The hero was sent to Eurystheus, and under his strict hand, he was to accomplish twelve labors over the next twelve years.

Hera was the daughter of Cronus and Rhea. She was born on the riverbanks of Imbrasons, under a willow tree. When Hera and her siblings were born Cornos her father, thought one of his children was going to kill him, so he swallowed all of them. Including Hera. Later on when Zeus was born and grew up he killed Cronos, and freed his brothers and sisters.

When Hercules went to Eurystheus, the king eagerly started to think of twelve labors for Hercules. What Hercules didn’t know was that Hera was influencing the king to think of tasks that seemed to be impossible. However, no matter what task Hercules had to complete, he always came back with the task completed. After twelve years and twelve labors, he was finally released. Hercules’ went on to live a life full of adventures, and he even remarried to a woman named Deineira. Deineira became very jealous when Hercules took King Eurystheus’ daughter Lole prisoner for vengeance. She feared Hercules was being unfaithful to her, and wanted to make sure she was the only woman he loved. She took the blood of a centaur (that she was tricked into thinking would make Hercules love her forever) and smeared it on his robe, but it turned out to be poison. Hercules began to die when he put the robe on, but it ended up only killing the mortal part of him. Hera decided to end her

Traditionally, the Goddess is seen as the Triple Goddess, meaning that she is the maiden, the mother and the crone. The mother aspect, the Mother Goddess, is perhaps the most important of these, and it was her that Gerald Gardner claimed was the ancient Goddess of the

Hercules life was a struggle from the beginning. He is the son of the Zeus and Alcmene. Because Hera was Zeus’s wife, not Alcmene, Hera was infuriated when she heard of her husband’s affair. She took revenge upon Hercules before he was even born by preventing him from becoming the ruler of Mycenae. After he was born she sent two snakes to Hercules’s crib to kill him.

When it comes to love stories in mythology, most people assume that the god Eros (also known as Cupid) and the goddess Aphrodite (also known as Venus) are behind the stories. However, most of the stories barely involve Eros and Aphrodite in their stories. There are more gods besides Eros and Aphrodite that help symbolize love by their actions in the stories of love. Even though Aphrodite and Eros are the main deities associated with love, several of the other Olympian gods are also agents of love.

Hera was born to Cronus, the Greek Titan god of time and the ages, and to the Greek Titan goddess queen of heaven and the mother of the gods.

Hera and Zeus’ marriage was not the typical heavenly known marriage today. One of the biggest differences from today's marriage verses there marriage would be that Hera was Zeus’ sister. The first wedding of Olympians was not known as a small occasion or get together. During Hera and Zeus’ wedding all the gods and goddesses attended, but they for sure did not attend empty handed. Hera and Zeus’ did not have any ordinary wedding they instead had a “glorious wedding night—one that lasted three hundred.” (Classical Mythology

Hestia was related to Zeus and she was his sister but unfortunately she was included in the Olympian gods and she was replaced by Dionysus cause she gave up her throne. She was the goddess of the hearth, family, and domestic life some people thought she was cool and some didn't really care. Her name meant house and a hearth and symbolising the home and its residents and not many people knew about her that much. She also did represent the coalition and relationship between the colonies and the mother cities and that was pretty cool.

Hercules marries Megara later, after having proved himself an excellent warrior and she birthed him two daughters. Hera caused Hercules to go crazy, and he killed his wife and daughters. When Hercules finally came to his senses he was distraught, and went to King Eurypterus and requested punishment. King Eurypterus asked the gods to help him come up with a punishment, and Hera is the one that responded to his request.
