Hera — The Queen of the Gods

Hera is often remembered as the jealous wife of Zeus. But that description barely scratches the surface of one of the most powerful goddesses in Greek mythology.

But what made Hera powerful was not simply her marriage to Zeus. She had her own identity, her own worship, and her own place within the Olympian world.

Why was Hera so important to the ancient Greeks, and what does her mythology reveal about marriage, power, loyalty, and the role of a queen?
