Hera the Queen of the Greek Gods // Greek Mythology

Hera is the protector of women and marriages during childbirth. She is described in mythology as the most powerful, brave, and, after Aphrodite, the most beautiful goddess. She is also referred to as "cow-eyed" and "white-armed" Hera. In fact, despite knowing that she was the second most beautiful goddess after Aphrodite, Hera always rejected the men who fell in love with her and devoted herself only to Zeus. Let’s look in more detail at some of the best facts and stories surrounding this all-powerful goddess, who inspired love, fear and wonder in the ancient Greeks. Facts about Hera, Queen of the Olympian Gods Hera was Queen of the OLYMPIAN GODS. She was the wife and SISTER OF ZEUS. Hera was a jealous wife, and she fought with Zeus frequently over his extramarital affairs and illegitimate CHILDREN. For this reason, Hera was known for punishing offending husbands. She was the protector of women, presiding over marriages and births. She had three (or Four) CHILDREN WITH ZEUS – HEBE, ARES, and Eileithyia. Also Hephaestus by some accounts. While Hera was worshipped in all parts of Greece, temples were erected in her honor at Argos and Salmos. The peacock was sacred to her. Hera had few, if any, redeeming qualities. She never forgot an injury. The Titans Ocean and TETHYS brought her up. Hera is often described as “cow-faced,” although she was also called the chief among the immortals in beauty. Though she may have been physically attractive, her vindictive personality makes her less so. The TROJAN WAR would have ended in peace, but Hera had a vested interest in its outcome and influenced Zeus to either switch sides or remain neutral. Hera had no concept of justice when angry or jealous; she could not forgive the women with whom Zeus had sexual relations—even if they were innocent of wrongdoing. Ilithyia, a daughter of Hera’s, assisted women in childbirth. In the story of the Quest of THE GOLDEN FLEECE, Hera was a gracious protector of the heroes. Paris awarded Aphrodite the Golden Apple over ATHENA and Hera. Hera punished one of Zeus’s love interests, Io, by putting her in the charge of Argus. Argus had a hundred eyes and kept vigilant watch over her so that Zeus could not come to her aid. Hera turned Callisto into a bear because Zeus fell in love with her. Hera arranged the death of SEMELE, another of Zeus’s mortal conquests, although she did not directly cause it. Hera never forgave HERCULES for being ZEUS’S SON, but when Hercules died and was taken to heaven, he and Hera reconciled. While in heaven, Hercules married Hera’s daughter Hebe. In some stories, it was at Hera’s orders that DIONYSUS was torn to pieces. He was brought back to life, and it is this resurrection that was celebrated in theatres. — WATCH NEXT — Warrior Women Amazons // Greek Mythology    • Warrior Women Amazons // Greek Mythology   Osiris Is The God Of Death Explained In 8 Minutes // Egypt Mythology    • Osiris Is The God Of Death Explained ...   — CHAPTERS — 0:00​ Introduction 0:49 Who is Hera? 3:57 The powerful symbols of Hera 5:33 Hera's children 6:04 How was Hera worshiped? 7:43 Outro Epic History Guide    / @epichistoryguide
