According to the Ancient Greeks, Hera was once the most beautiful of all the goddesses, many of the gods lusted for her and wanted her to be their wife but only Zeus managed to gain her as his wife by using his slyness and tricks. She is also associated with many other things such as sky, air, woman's fertility, queenship, kingdoms, empires, heirs and etc. However her main role in the Greek Pantheon is being the goddess of woman and marriage. Her duty as a goddess is to protect woman from any circumstances and bless (or curse) marriages. Hera is known to be a loyal but jealous and vindictive wife.
