👑 HERA 🐦

Beautiful, strong and regal
That’s how this goddess is described
She is the queen of all the gods
And helps families unite

Although she is a champion 
Of women and their lives
Her heart is full of poison 
For her husband’s many lies

She is married to grand old Zeus 
Who loves being with the ladies
Hera has tried with all her might 
To send him off to Hades*

But the god of death cannot best
Zeus and his lightning bolt
So Hera now tortures her step children
With punishements untold 

When Hera is having a good day
She is sweet, gentle and kind
The cow, the peacock and the cucukoo 
Shine as her symbols divine

But when she is angry with Zeus
She is as jealous as a goose
Zeus says sorry and stands on his head
And then finally there is a truce 
       
Along with Zeus and his lightning bolt
Hera lives with her cuckoo and crown
She reigns from above on mount Olympus
But to earth, she rarely comes down.
