Mythology:
Hera (Juno), in ancient Greek religion, was a daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, sister-wife of Zeus, and queen of the Olympian gods.
In general, Hera was worshipped in two main capacities: as the consort of Zeus and queen of heaven and as the goddess of marriage and of the
life of women. As the Queen of Olympus and a major goddess, Hera was considered very powerful. The women of Greece prayed to Hera for
protection during childbirth, good health, and to aid them in their marriages. She also had power over the skies and could bless
the people with clear skies or curse them with storms. Hera became extremely jealous and spent much of her time on Mount Olympus
spying on Zeus and plotting revenge. When she found out that Zeus spent time with another woman, he had a violent temper and went out
of her way to punish the women and their children that Zeus fathered. Zeus was king of the gods, and his lightning bolt was something
of a supreme weapon in the clash with the titans. And yet, Zeus is often depicted as a hen-pecked husband, fearful of his wife.
