Hera was the Olympian goddess of marriage and childbirth and was also known as the Queen of the gods. She was also the protector of marriage and made herself a symbol for married women, because of taking special care and attention to them. Hera was one of the fairest goddesses on Mount Olympus, but on the other hand, she was known to be jealous and vengeful towards people or gods who hurted or crossed her. However, because she couldn't hurt Zeus who cheated on her numerous times, she pursued and tortured his mistresses and his illegitimate children. Hera herself, on the other hand, was faithful to Zeus in the means of sexuality, but didn't obey her husband which was also important for marriage in Ancient Greek's culture.
