Ancient Mythology

Hera | Greek Mythology

Wife and sister of the supreme god, Zeus. Hera was jealous of Zeus' many other lovers—she fought often with him and sought revenge against his mistresses. She punished other unfaithful husbands.

Hera was worshiped all over greece, especially in Argos and Salmos where she had several temples built in her honour. She is a symbol of marriage, marital love and childbirth.

The Romans equated Hera with their goddess, Juno.
