Zeus and Hera

Hera was one of Zeus's sisters. Zeus and Hera is also one of the most famous myths featuring the Greek God Zeus. Zeus was fascinated with her, but she turned down his advances. Hera's affection for animals and other beings was well-known to Zeus. He turned into a cuckoo, flew outside her window, and pretend to be distressed by the cold. Hera was touched by the bird and brought it inside, holding it to her breast to keep it warm. Zeus then reverted to his original form and raped her. Hera agreed to marry Zeus because she was humiliated by being abused.

The marriage of Zeus and Hera was the first of its type in Olympia. At the Garden of the Hesperides, it was lavishly celebrated with feasting and revelry. All of the gods were in attendance, and they lavished them with lavish presents. Gaia, the earth goddess and the bride's grandmother, bestowed to Hera an enchanted tree that, when planted, would yield magnificent golden apples. Zeus and Hera enjoyed a magnificent wedding night that lasted 300 years after the festivities were over. Zeus and Hera have 4 children: Ares, the god of battle; Eileithyia, the goddess of childbirth; Hebe, the goddess of endless youth; and Hephaestus, the deity of fire, according to most traditions.
