Characters experience of Hera.

As the sister and wife of Zeus, the father of the gods, Hera was very loyal to her love and family.

Hera is the seventh wife of Zeus, also known as the queen of heaven. As soon as Hera was born, she was swallowed up by her father kronos. Later, kronos was tricked by Metis and Zeus and spit it out. In The Conflict between Titan and Titan, Rhea sends Hera to oceanus and Tethys for support. Besides, Hera was raised by Temnos of Arcadia or the goddess of seasons of Oboya. He also said that Hera was not swallowed up by her father kronos after her birth, but took care of her brother Zeus on behalf of her mother Rhea to protect her from her father. In some unpopular stories, Hera is the twin sister of Zeus, but because she is a daughter, she was not swallowed by kronos, but these stories are rare.

When Zeus grew up, he replaced his father as the king of the gods. Although he had many trysts with goddesses and goddesses, he was only interested in Hera.

Zeus pursued his sister Hera, but was rejected. So he turned himself into a cuckoo soaked to the skin and flew to Hera. The deceived Hera sympathized with the wet bird and put it on her chest to keep warm. At this time, Zeus showed his true colors and took possession of Hera when she panicked. It is said that Zeus and Hera secretly combined for 300 years before Zeus announced it to the gods. At the wedding banquet of Zeus and Hera, Gaia, the mother of the earth, presented golden apples from the sacred garden.

Relations with Zeus' other wives

Hera was jealous of her cousin, married Leto, the dark goddess of Zeus before herself, refused to let her have children on the earth, and ordered the God of the earth to forbid Leto to provide help, which made Leto painfully hide in the earth and have nowhere to live. Not only that, Hera also sent a giant snakeskin born by Gaia, the mother of the earth, to pursue, and the arrival of Pitong undoubtedly made Leto worse. Finally, Simis, the moon god, and Apollo, the sun god, were born on the newly born island of Zeus, Delos Island, which was transformed by Leto's sister astoria.

But strangely, Hera had a good relationship with her aunt, Zeus' second wife, themis, the goddess of justice. In a battle, Hera seduced Zeus to divert attention from the battlefield, and was scolded afterwards, pulling her face back to Olympus.

When the Queen came back, all the gods raised their glasses, but Hera ignored them and only accepted themis's glass. When themis asked her why she was so alarmed, Hera replied, "Goddess themis, you don't need to ask me these questions. You know how serious and violent his heart is. Now please lead the gods to start an equal court banquet. " Hera and themis, as women of Zeus, are naturally self-evident about some things, so there is no need to ask more questions.

Persecution of rival lovers and their children

Hera, the mother of the gods, never betrayed her husband, although the romantic Zeus kept seducing other women or goddesses behind his lawful wife's back. While loyal to love, Hera is a jealous woman. She hates everyone who is close to her husband. She used her power and position to punish those women.

Hera, the "queen of the gods", has long been familiar with her husband's infidelity. He often cheats his wife and indulges in love with mortal or demigod women. Hera never hides her anger and jealousy. She keeps a close eye on her husband's every move. She often sabotages Zeus' affair, and Zeus is often indifferent to it because of his scruples, and can't even protect his lover.

Hera's jealousy is terrible. Not only does she not let go of her rival in love, but she can't stand things related to her rival in love. Therefore, Hera, the stern queen, hates a kingdom called Iquina, because this is the name of her jealous rival, which evokes her feud. She brought a terrible plague to the whole island. Shan Ye is filled with miasma and suffocating poisonous fog. The gloomy fog wraps the sun, but it just doesn't rain. Four months have passed, and there is a sultry south wind blowing on the island every day, and the smell of death rises on the ground. The water in ponds and rivers turns green and stinks, and poisonous snakes swarm in barren fields. Their venom seeps into well water or river water and overflows everywhere. Mad dogs, mad cows, mad sheep, birds and animals are all crazy. Finally, the plague disaster also befalls people. There are bodies everywhere, and it stinks.

Hera was jealous of everyone who was close to her husband and used her power and position to punish those women cruelly. For example, in order to avoid Hera, Zeus turned his lover IO into a cow, and was later seen by her and persecuted her. Hera ordered the giant Argos to take care of her, not only to prevent her from escaping, but also to prevent Zeus from finding her. Later, in order to save Io, Zeus sent Hermes to kill Argos and set Io free. To praise Argos's loyalty, Hera lavished Argos's eyes on the feathers of her sacred bird peacock. Then Hera sent a gadfly to bite Io, forcing her to flee Greece.

Hera once became an old woman. She urged Princess Semele of Thebes to ask Zeus to see Zeus' real body to prove Zeus' love for her. But because mortals watched Zeus die, Semele was burned to death by lightning as soon as Zeus showed his true colors. Then Zeus took out Dionysus, a posthumous child, from Semele's womb and sewed the child on his thigh until the child grew strong and was born from Zeus' thigh. Later, at the instigation of Hera, Hermes was asked to propose to Zeus and let Semele's sister Enoch take charge of raising the children. In order to protect the children's safety, kind enoch stayed away from Hera and raised the children, but nothing escaped Hera's hand. Hera used magic to drive enoch crazy, making her kill the children she had carefully raised, and then she jumped off the cliff and committed suicide.

Her jealousy and quarrels often bring great disasters to gods and mankind. For example, Zeus gave birth to Hercules, an illegitimate child, in order to win the battle with giants. Therefore, Hera was jealous and killed Heracles again and again. When alcmene, the lover of Zeus, gave birth to Heracles, Hera flew into a rage and ordered Erica, the goddess of fertility, to stop the birth of the child, but it didn't work. Because alcmene was worried about being persecuted by Hera, she cruelly put the child in a basket, covered with straw, and abandoned it in the field. If Hera finds out that the child is not going to live, So by chance, Hera and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, passed by and found the child. Athena saw that the child was pitiful and lovely, and advised Hera to nurse the child. The child bit Hera's nipple and sucked the milk greedily. Because the child was in great pain, she threw herself to the ground in a rage, but miraculously, the child was thrown to the ground without any injury.

Athena sympathetically picked up the child from the ground, took it back to the city of the Greek king, and gave it to the care of Queen alcmene. But to alcmene's surprise, the child turned out to be the one she abandoned, and she was ecstatic. Because the child has absorbed Hera's milk and left the mortal fetus, Hera finally realized the origin of the child. She regretted not finding and getting rid of him, so she sent two poisonous snakes into the palace to kill the child. Unexpectedly, the child showed the power of God and put two poisonous snakes in the cradle. It was not until Hercules grew up that he could not escape bad luck. Finally, Hera drove him crazy and made Heracles kill his wife and children unconsciously. Heracles died and ascended to heaven. Hera voluntarily reconciled with him and betrothed her daughter, Herb, the goddess of youth.

Libyan queen lamia had outstanding beauty and later became Zeus' mistress. Jealous Hera killed all the children born to lamia in a fit of pique, and cursed the sad lamia, turning her into a half-human, half-snake monster, depriving her of the ability to sleep.

Callisto is also a fairy. She gave birth to a child after being molested by Zeus. Later, the angry Hera found out and imposed all the crimes on the innocent girl. So Hera turned Crystal Peach into a big black bear and ordered Al Simis, who didn't know it, to hunt her. Later, Zeus took Callisto to the sky and turned her into the constellation Ursa major. Hera flew into a rage when she saw that her rival in love was so noble, and immediately went to reason with her elders. These two elders are Tethys, the sea god who raised Hera, and Oxius, the sea god. Hera howled her grievances and asked them to give Crystal an ugly face, but Crystal was not allowed to go into the sea. Old Poseidon naturally agreed to Hera's request, so that Ursa major could only go around in the sky and never fall into the sea like other stars.

Hera comes from a noble family and has the highest power in the world, second only to her husband. Therefore, Hera's character has extremely prominent pride and willfulness. Antigone, a secular woman, is very beautiful, especially her curly hair is very moving, and she has the idea of being more beautiful than Tianhou. In her rage, Tianhou turned her hair into a poisonous snake, torturing and biting her scalp, which was very horrible. Finally, Zeus was merciful and turned her into a crane. The poor girl can only see herself in the water from now on. From this legend, we can know Hera's proud and willful character.

Olian's first wife, Said, also boasted about her beauty. Compared with Hera, Hera finally entered the abyss of hell, Taras.

When alcmene was about to give birth to Heracles, Hera tried her best to prevent and delay the birth of Heracles, and ordered her daughter, the fertility goddess Eletia, not to give birth to alcmene. So Hera came to earth to perform magic, hands in the air. As long as her hands don't move, Heracles will not be born. Suddenly, Galantis, alcmene's maid, broke into the house and reported to Hera that alcmene had given birth. Hera was very surprised. She clapped her hands angrily, and Heracles was born smoothly. Hera didn't know she had been cheated. To punish Galantis, Hera turned her into a lizard.

One day, Hera found that her husband Zeus had disappeared and could not be found anywhere. Hera thought Zeus must have gone to meet some goddess in private. So Hera went down to Zeus, and a fairy named Eko restrained Hera with her long words when she caught the rape at the scene, so that Zeus and the fairies took the opportunity to escape. Hera found that she had been cheated, so she punished Hourcau who lost her ability to speak. When she meets the person she likes, she can talk, but she can only answer, so that she can never express what she wants to say.

In most revenge actions, Hera will send monsters to assassinate her target. Orion, the son of Poseidon, the sea king, calls himself the first hero of Olympus. No one is more capable than him. So Hera remembered Herb, the daughter who only poured wine for the gods, and hephaestus, the son of a blacksmith. She was furious and decided to teach Orion a good lesson. Hera sent a poisonous scorpion to assassinate Orion without consulting her husband Zeus. In the end, the scorpion didn't let Hera down. As a reward, Hera promoted the scorpion to heaven and became a Scorpio. One of Heracles's twelve tasks is to kill Xu Dela, a hydra with evil thoughts. When Hera lifted it, Hera summoned a huge crab to help Xu Dela kill Heracles, but in the end the crab failed and Xu Dela was beheaded by Heracles. Angry Hera felt sorry for the crab's desperate sacrifice. In order to appreciate the loyalty of the crab, Hera put it in the sky and became today's cancer.

Golden campaign

An important event in Greek mythology (the disharmonious golden apple → the trial of Paris → the Trojan War).

The wedding banquet of Peleus, the world hero, and thetis, the goddess of the sea. Because the marriage was arranged directly by Zeus, a group of higher-ranking gods were invited to dinner. According to some epic records, it is because gold tableware is limited-of course, it does not rule out its own unpopular factor-Eris, the goddess in charge of disputes, was not invited. Feeling offended, Eris came uninvited and said nothing, leaving a huge and gorgeous golden apple engraved with "κ α λ λ? στ? "(kallist(I)/Kallisti) means" dedicated to the most beautiful goddess ".

The three tallest and most beautiful goddesses in the scene, Athena, Aphrodite and Hera, are involved in the dispute caused by the golden apple. They asked Zeus to judge who could get the golden apple. Zeus thinks that Paris, the handsome prince on the earth, is more suitable to be the referee of this difficult problem. He is herding sheep on Mount Ida near Troy. So Hera, the goddess of wisdom Athena, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love, led by Hermes, went to Ada Mountain and asked Prince Paris for arbitration. Paris gave the golden apple to Aphrodite, the beautiful god, because she promised that Paris would get the love of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world.

Hera's power

Different from the source of the power status of the Queen Mother in ancient myths and legends of China, Hera's status and honor originally came from her marriage. Although Hera is Zeus' sister, this position does not give her special power, but when Hera becomes Zeus' wife, she has the highest power. Demeter, also the wife of Zeus, is not as powerful as her sister. Zeus has always had seven legal wives, but when Zeus proposed to Hera, he promised to share his power and honor with Hera, so Hera could enjoy the power of her husband, and whenever Hera traveled, she was accompanied by lightning. For this reason, the gods honored Hera as the mother of God, and all the gods acted according to her will.

Because Zeus has absolute authority, when there are differences between them, Hera has to take some measures to achieve her goal. Hera closed the door. "Bathing indoors, smearing her beautiful body with perfume, combing her shiny blonde hair, wearing a delicate and gorgeous brocade robe made by Athena for her, wearing a shiny pin on her chest, wearing a shiny belt around her waist, wearing a pair of precious gemstone earrings, wearing an extremely soft veil, and wearing a pair of chic slippers on her white feet."

She used her beauty as a tool to achieve her goal and let Zeus listen to her own opinions. This also shows that Hera is in a secondary position in the family, and her husband has absolute authority. Hera can only use her original capital as a woman. Once Zeus expressed dissatisfaction with Hera, and Hera was severely punished. Hera was punished for instigating Fengshen to oppose Hercules, the illegitimate child of Zeus. Her feet were tied to the anvil, and her hands were tied with gold chains and hung upside down in mid-air. All the gods on Olympus are in awe of Zeus' anger and dare not go near him to plead for the queen of heaven.

Hera is the seventh wife of Zeus, the god of dark clouds and thunder, and the queen of Olympus. She has the same power as Zeus. Her maid is Iriz, the goddess of time sequence and rainbow. The combination of Hera and Zeus is considered to be the combination of sunshine and rain and dew, which makes the land rich, so people often pray for Hera to give them gifts while worshiping Zeus. Hera is the king of goddess. She is sometimes regarded as the god of marriage, the protector of women and the savior of pregnant women. Her sacred objects are pomegranate, cuckoo, peacock and crow. Peloponnesus is the birthplace of Hera worship. With the unification of Olympus, she was accepted by all parts of Greece. Mycenae and other places have her temples, and Argos also has festivals to commemorate her. Hera and Zeus gave birth to Herb, Ares and Hibiscus. Hera alone gave birth to hephaestus, which is said to have been born when Hera was angry. Because Zeus often changed his mind, liked the new and hated the old, and fell in love with many women, Hera was very jealous and destroyed Zeus' lover by various means. For example, she turned Io into a cow, and then sent a big gadfly to bite her, which made her suffer and fled Greece. Another example is Hera. She heard that Semele was pregnant with her husband's child, turned into an old wet nurse in Semele to seduce her, and finally burned Semele. The fetus in her arms was rescued by Zeus, sewed into Zeus' moustache, and gave birth to Dionysus at full term. Hera persecuted Leto, Apollo's mother, and prevented her from giving birth on the earth. So Apollo and themis, the sun gods, were born in Delos, the newly born island of Zeus, so Hera is often said to be "jealous". The symbol of Hera is peacock, because this bird with colorful feathers and stars symbolizes the beautiful and spectacular night sky, and the sky is Hera's radiant face.

With the help of herbs prepared by the fairy Metis, Zeus saved five children who were swallowed by Cronus. One of them was a girl named Hera. Her mother Rhea was afraid that kronos would hurt her children again, so she hid Hera in the territory of her three sisters Hess Peredes in Devines. Being far away from the tyrant's rule, it is as beautiful as heaven. Hera was raised like a mother, and they taught her countless things about God, nature and the world.

Hera grew up to be a beautiful girl. Her beauty stunned all the birds and animals in the forest, but she was not carried away by her own beauty. She loves to explore and learn, and hopes to be a well-deserved goddess who is useful to both God and people in the future. She pestered the goddess of time series to ask all the questions in the world, and she took pains to listen to divines' various explanations. Slowly, Hera mastered all the mysteries of the universe, and sometimes she would loudly announce to the sky, "How I wish I could be a diva!" " "

In this land where Hera lives, among all animals, she likes a bird with a tail resembling the starry sky best. This bird is the peacock that will be with her forever. Later, Hera fell in love with Zeus, a teenager sitting on the back of an eagle, at first sight, so they flew back to Greece together. Hera was always with Zeus, helping him defeat the evil kronos.

After Zeus won, Hera became the diva as she wished. She ruled the sky, clouds, rain, thunder and storms with Zeus. She was the first goddess and woman on earth. She is in charge of marriage and childbirth, and is a model of a faithful and dutiful wife; She is the patron saint of women and a symbol of power. However, Tianhou does not protect all women. A fairy named Heroni deliberately delayed her time on the road because she didn't want to attend the wedding of Hera and Zeus. Hera immediately turned the unlucky fairy into an animal, which the Greeks called "Heroni" (tortoise). Hera's revenge on Argos's beautiful princess IO is even more cruel because of Zeus's "universal love" ...

There are many such stories in Greek mythology, which show that the first goddess not only has the sacred side of God, but also has a strong psychological defect of jealousy and revenge.
