Hera is a central deity in ancient Greek religion, revered as the goddess of marriage, women, and family. She serves as the protector of women during childbirth and holds the prestigious position of queen among the twelve Olympians on Mount Olympus.
As the daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, she is both the sister and the wife of Zeus. In mythological narratives, she is frequently depicted with a jealous and vengeful temperament, particularly when responding to the infidelity of her husband or the presence of his illegitimate offspring.
