photo source Hera; Hera (Roman name : Juno) was the queen of the gods. Besides for being the queen, Hera was also goddess of marriage and childbirth. Zeus, her brother, is also her husband. She is depicted to have a jealous personality, mainly because she is always trying to stop her husbands affairs. Hera is the mother of Hephaestus, Eris, along with Ares and Hebe. Hera has several animals that are scarce to her, the most important being the peacock. Other animals include the cuckoo, a wide-winged hawk, a lion, the crane and a cow. Several other symbols that relate to Hera are the crown, a lotus staff, and pomegranates. Hera was the patron of both Argos and Samos. Hera attempted to imprison her husband (Zeus), but the attempt was a failure. Hera is known for her extreme hatred for Hercules, since Hercules is the offspring of one of Zeus's affairs.
