She is the goddess of marriage.  Hera hated the great hero [[wikipedia:Hercules|Hercules]] because he was the son of her husband Zeus and a mortal woman. Hera set in motion the events which led to Hercules' [[wikipedia:The_Twelve_Labours|Twelve Labors]].


In Greek mythology, Hera was the reigning female goddess of Olympus because she was Zeus's wife. It has been surmised that her worship is actually far older than that of her husband. It goes back to a time when the creative force we call "God" was conceived of as a woman.
