✦ About
Hera is the queen of the Olympian gods and the goddess of marriage, women, childbirth, and family. As Zeus's wife and sister, she rules alongside him from Mount Olympus, embodying the sanctity of marriage despite her husband's many infidelities.
Known for her majestic beauty and regal bearing, Hera is the most powerful goddess of the Greek pantheon. Her symbols include the peacock, whose many-eyed tail feathers represent her watchfulness, and the cow, symbolizing her nurturing nature.
Though often portrayed as jealous and vengeful toward Zeus's lovers and illegitimate children, Hera's wrath represents the defense of the marital bond. She is fiercely protective of legitimate marriage and the stability of family, punishing those who violate these sacred institutions.
✦ Famous Story
When Zeus courted Hera, she initially rejected him. Zeus transformed into a wounded cuckoo bird, and when the compassionate Hera held him to her breast, he revealed himself and won her. Their sacred wedding lasted 300 years.
