Historical story

About Zeus's wife "Hera"


Zeus almost always appears in Greek mythology, but it is like a model of Greek mythology that Zeus has an affair and his wife Hera gets angry, and this time it is such a spatula. Story.

Birth and marriage

Hera was born the daughter of Cronus and Rhea. She then married Zeus. Zeus is also the son of Cronus and Rhea.

In other words, Zeus married his sister.

Sibling marriage may not have been uncommon in the Greek world.

Ptolemaic dynasty, a Greek dynasty In Egypt, brotherhood was the mainstream, and the names of successive Kings of Ptolemaic were named Cleopatra, and the most famous King Cleopatra also married her younger brother.

By the way, Zeus was not married for the first time, but was initially married to a goddess named Metis, but Zeus absorbed Metis in response to the prophecy that the born god would destroy Zeus. And Athens was born from her forehead, but that's another story. Zeus then marries a goddess named Themis, but in the meantime he also talks to Hera, divorcing Themis and marrying Hera to be with her.

It's a ridiculous story when written (^^;)

Hella has a solid marriage to prevent Zeus from doing the same thing, and since then Zeus and Hella have been married.

However, Zeus's affair does not change, and he will continue to have an affair.

There are two pillars of children between Zeus and Hera, including the fighting gods Ares (Mars) and Hephaestus.

God of jealousy

Originally Zeus is bad, but when it comes to spatula, there is an image of jealousy.

It is common in Greek mythology that every time Zeus cheats on the woman and her child, she sends a viper to Heracles, who was a baby at some time.

By the way, Hera often sends poisonous snakes.

Like the Greek tragedy masterpiece "Media," a woman living in the Greek world does not turn her anger at her husband. The Greek world has a democratic image including Athens, but in its real male society, suffrage is given only to men.

Spatula is basically irresistible to Zeus.

Therefore, Hera's anger is not directed at Zeus, but at her cheating partner and any child.

In addition, due to the darkness of the Trojan War and the cruelty of various Greek myths, it can be said that the god is quite temperamental, making it a particularly unpopular god in Greek mythology. ..

If I write something like this, I'm going to buy the wrath of the spatula ...
