Hera

In Greek mythology, Hera, the daughter of Cronos and Rhea, was queen of the Olympian gods. She was worshiped as the goddess of marriage, women, and childbirth; her sacred emblems were the apple, pomegranate and peacock. Hera's marriage to Zeus, king of the gods, was troubled by his many infidelities. Some of the best-known Greek myths deal with the jealous Hera's persecution of women loved by her husband. In the Trojan war, Hera favored the Greeks because the Trojan prince Paris slighted her by naming Aphrodite the most beautiful of the goddesses. In Roman mythology, Hera was identified with Juno.
