Mythology
Hera

Hera,
the goddess of marriage and birth, was one of the cruelest gods. One example
was when Hercules was a baby. She did not like him because he was the son of
Zeus and a mortal woman while she was ZeusŐs wife and sister. Since she
despised Hercules, Hera made snakes attack him in his crib while he was
sleeping. Another reason why she was harsh was when she was really mad at
Zeus one time. Convincing all the other gods to hate Zeus, she conspired with
them and made up an evil plan. First, Hera drugged Zeus. Then all the other
gods tied him to a couch. Because he was her husband, she should not tie her
husband down so he cannot move. In conclusion, it is obvious from these
examples that Hera was very brutal. |
