She was the mother of Ares, Hephaestus, Hebe, and Eileithyia

Ares, Hephaestus, Hebe, and Eileithyia are the most well-known of Hera's seven children. Ares also referred to as the God of War, is the son of Zeus and Hera. During the renowned Trojan War, he fought for the Trojans. Hephaestus was allegedly born to Hera without the union of Zeus. She flung him down Mount Olympus because she found him so repulsive. After Hera fell into a trap laid by Hephaestus, the mother and son were reunited. Hephaestus created a magical throne for Hera to exact revenge; no matter how hard she attempted to escape, she was unable to do so. He didn't let her go until Aphrodite was made his wife.


Zeus and Hera's daughters are Hebe and Eileithyia. Eileithyia is the Goddess of childbirth, whereas Hebe is the goddess of youth. While Hera committed herself to defend married women, Eileithyia took up the protection of mothers-to-be. She also had the power to postpone or stop pregnancies.
