Hera is the goddess of women, marriage, family, and childbirth in ancient Greek religion and myth, the wife of Zeus and queen of the Olympian gods. The Romans identified her with their own Juno. Hera was worshipped throughout the Greek world and played an important part in Greek literature, appearing most frequently as the jealous and rancorous wife of Zeus and pursuing with vindictive hatred the heroines who were beloved by him. Hera is commonly seen with the animals she considers sacred including the cow, lion and the peacock.
