Hera (Juno)

Hera (Juno)

You have to watch out for Hera – especially if you happen to be a lady who catches the eye of her cheating husband, Zeus, or if you happen to be the love child of a lady who caught the eye of Zeus. Hera is known for coming up with some pretty nasty methods of revenge. Of course, you can understand where she's coming from. She's the goddess of marriage, and her husband's a total sleaze. That's got to be embarrassing.
