Hera

In Greek mythology, Hera was the goddess of women, family, and marriage. She is married to Zeus. She is one of the Twelve Olympians. Hera is also a goddess of the sky and starry heavens. The Ancient Greeks said that Hera is one of the most beautiful goddesses, nearly as pretty as Aphrodite. However, her jealous and vengeful nature make her less so. Zeus is cautious of her when she throws her tantrums. She loves to make Zeus's other children’s life a misery.

Her own special signs are the peacock, the pomegranate, and the cow. Her other important items are the crown and veil.

Hera's parents are Kronos and Rhea. Her brothers and sisters are Zeus (whom she also married), Hestia, Demeter, Hades, and Poseidon. Hera has two daughters and two sons, Hebe, Eileithyia, Ares and Hephaestus. Her step-children include Athena, Dionysus, Persephone, and the twins, Apollo and Artemis.^[1]

Hera is the queen of all the Greek gods and goddesses. She is often thought of as being wise and serious. Hera is also called 'The Queen of Heaven' because she rules over Mount Olympus where all of the gods and goddesses live. Long before her marriage to Zeus, she ruled over the heavens and the Earth. She is responsible for every living thing, including the seasons and the weather. Some legends and ancient myth told that, Hera (Juno) is also the goddess of empire, queens, and kingdoms. The name Hera means 'beautiful lady'. She also the god of crows.
