Interesting Fact:
According to some beliefs, the name "Hera" derives from the ancient Greek word "Air," meaning "Wind," since Hera was also a deity of the wind and the weather.
Hera and the Birth of Athena:
When Hera found out about Athena's birth, she had two reactions to it. First, she was furious that Zeus had produced a child alone so in return, she produced Hephaestus. Hera was then pleased with the child and accepted her like a daughter.
Weaknesses:
Hera's weaknesses are vindictiveness, vanity and jealousy. She misused her powers to punish Zeus's lovers. Hera did this because she knew Zeus had loved six women before her and she was jealous. Once, Antigone claimed her hair was more beautiful then Hera's. Enraged by such a claim, Hera turned Antigone's hair into snakes.
