Hera was considered the most beautiful among the immortals

One of the most astonishing facts about Hera is that she was believed the most attractive of the immortals. She appeared magnificent wearing a tall, cylindrical crown and riding in a chariot drawn by the peacock, her sacred bird. She would rule the heavens while seated on her gold throne, which was her throne.

Hera, on the other hand, was sensitive to her beauty and proud of it. Hera's tendency to become enraged when she believed her beauty was in danger stemmed from her jealous nature. Anyone more attractive than she was subject to punishment or curses. Laomedon's daughter Antigone bragged that her hair was more attractive than Hera's. Hera transformed her hair in Antigone into serpents out of rage. She also harbored a long-standing resentment toward Paris for saying that Aphrodite was more attractive than she was. Because of Hera's efforts to assure their victory through both direct and indirect interventions, the Greeks were able to triumph in the Trojan War.
