Hera

From Legendary Journeys

Hera was the wife and older sister of Zeus, making her queen of the Olympian gods. Aside from her duties as queen, Hera was known as the goddess of women and marriage. Both the peacock and the cow were sacred to her and she would often appear in the guise of a peacock.

Marriage being sacred to her, Hera was enraged at Zeus' many infidelities. The one which irked her the most was Zeus' affair with the mortal Alcmene; the product of which was the demi-god Hercules. In seeking her vengeance Hera was responsible for the deaths of Hercules' wife, Deianeira, and his three children Aeson, Klonus and Ilea. At every opportunity, Hera would send monsters of various kinds to attack Hercules. For example, the Hydra and the Enforcer.

Hera was the mother Ares, Discord and Hephaestus.
