Hera is the queen of the Greek gods, the wife and sister of the king of the heavens, Zeus. Among the Romans, Hera is known as Juno. She is a goddess of marriage.
Homer uses two epithets for Hera, cow-eyed and white-armed. In the story of the Trojan War, Hera strongly opposes the Trojans, while favoring the Greeks. Other foes who suffer at the hands of Hera are the women her husband seduces and their children.
In Rome, Hera, as Juno plays many roles and is part of the honored Capitoline Triad, along with Minerva and Jupiter.
