Hera is a first-generation Olympian, and most known for her jealousy over her husband’s many indiscretions. However, it’s a rare day when the queen takes her vengeance out on her husband. She delights in torturing, tricking, maiming, and humiliating anyone that sleeps with her husband, whether by choice or not. More savagely, Hera goes to great lengths to prevent the birth of any children conceived from the adulterous unions.

Though several goddesses are true virgins, Hera renews her virginity annually in the Spring of Kanathos, to remain pure and tempt her husband.

Hera is all about appearances. She is regal, haughty, and wears a golden diadem. The throne she sits upon is also gold, and made by her son, Hephaestus, even though she treats him terribly.

Her golden chariot is pulled by a flock of peacocks.
