Hera

= __**Hera (Juno)**__ =

Summary
Hera, also known as Juno, was the goddess of marriage. She normally assisted married women. Her husband and brother, Zeus, was always having affairs with other women. When she caught them, whether the women had wanted to be involved or not, she would punish them and sometimes even the peoples they lived with. The only quest she was ever a helpful, nice patron for was the Quest for the Golden Fleece. Hera was the mother of Hebe, Hephaestus, Ares, and Ilithyia. Her sacred animals were the cow and the peacock, and her favorite city was Argos. (Hamilton )

Present Day

 * In present day, Hera would be a marriage counselor because she helped women with marital problems.
 * In present day, Hera would probably be an average wife who when her husband cheated on her, successfully attempt to get revenge the women he cheated on her with.
 * In present day, hera would be an elephant, because she never forgets an injury just like elephants never forget.

Greek Values
The Greeks were very creative when they were coming up with explanations to why things happened. They thought everything and made detailed stories depicting their traditions and things that occurred in their daily lives. It seems that they had many different jobs, including holding up the sky to beauty to hunting, all to be done by the gods and goddesses. Judging by the job that was assigned to Hera, many of the women of that time probably had problems with their marriages and wanted to have a goddess to get back at the men with.
