In Greek mythology, the goddess Hera was queen of the gods and the wife of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. Hera was goddess of marriage. Since Hera's husband was Zeus, king not only of gods, but of philanderers, Hera spent a lot of time in Greek mythology angry with Zeus. So Hera is described as jealous.
Hera's Jealousy
Hera persecuted Hercules because Zeus was his father, but another woman -- Alcmene -- was his mother. Hera persecuted many of the other women Zeus seduced, in one way or another.Hera's Children
Hera is usually counted the normal biological mother of Hebe and Ares. Their father was her husband, Zeus, although Clark ["Who Was the Wife of Zeus?" by Arthur Bernard Clark; The Classical Review, (1906), pp. 365-378] explains the identities and births of Hebe, Ares, and Eiletheiya, goddess of childbirth, and sometimes named child of the divine couple, otherwise, arguing that the king and queen of the gods had no children together. Hebe, for instance, may have been fathered by a lettuce and an association between Hebe and Zeus may have been sexual rather than familial. Ares might have been conceived via a special flower from the fields of Olenus. Zeus' free admission of his paternity of Ares, Clark obliquely intimates, may be in order to avoid the scandal of being a cuckold. On her own, Hera gave birth to Hephaestus. Like brother Zeus, Hera's parents were Cronos and Rhea, who were Titans.
