About Me

I am Hera, Queen of the Olympian Deities, daughter of Cronus and Rhea, and wife and sister of Zeus.
I am mainly worshipped as a goddess of marriage and birth, and am generally portrayed as a majestic, solemn woman.
The peacock (the symbol of pride; my wagon was pulled by peacocks) and the cow (I am also known as Bopis, meaning "cow-eyed", which was later translated as "with big eyes") are my sacred animals. The crow and the pomegranate (symbol of marriage) are also dedicated to me. Other attributes include a diadem and a veil.
