HERA - GODDESS OF LOVE AND MARRIAGE

~*~Hera~*~
Hera was the sister and wife of Zeus, The King of Gods,
which made her The Queen of Gods. Hera was the Goddess of
Marriage and Love, and protector of married women. 
Cronos and Rhea were Hera and Zeus's parents. When
Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Poseiden and Hades were born, Cornos
thought one of his children were going to kill him, therefore he
swallowed his children. When Zeus was born his mother put a rock
in a blanket and instead Cronos swallowed the rock. When Zeus
grew up he came back and killed Cronos and freed his brothers
and sisters.
Hera's nickname was cow face. She was actually very
beautiful. Hera was very cruel and would get jealous when
another women would mess with Zeus, and she would seek revenge. 
Since Zeus was not faithful, Hera started a revolt against Zeus
and planned to kill him. At first the plan appeared the plan had
worked. But Zeus came back. Zeus punished Hera and made her
promise not to harm him again.
Hera wore gold sandals, had a chariot and a great throne. 
Her animals were the cow, the peacock and sometimes the cuckoo.
