HERA



She was the wife of Zeus. The Titans Ocean and Tethys brought her up. She was the protector of marriage and married women were her peculiar care. there is very little that is attractive in the portrait the poets draw of her. 

But when an account of her gets down to details, it shows her chiefly engaged in punishing the many women Zeus felt in love with, even when they yielded only because he coerced or tricked them. it made no difference to Hera how reluctant any of them were or how innocent; the goddess treated all alike. Her implacable anger followed them and their children too.

The trojan war would have ended in an Honorable peace, leaving both sides unconquered, if it had been for her hatred of a Trojan who had judged another goddess lovelier than she. The wrong of her slighted beauty remained with her until Troy fell in ruins.

The cow and the peacock were sacred to her. Argos washer favorite city.

Hera is a very jealous wife. I think how she acts in the story is reasonable since Zeus is a womanizer.

If we relate this to real life situation, in order to protect the family, a wife should be strong and give her best to keep the family intact.
