Among the gods of Olympus in classical Greek mythology, Hera is the wife and sister of Zeus. She is also the goddess of marriage, which is the patriarchal bond of her own subordination: her resistance to Zeus' conquest is manifested in Hera's "jealousy", which is the theme of literary anecdotes and weakens her ancient worship. Her Roman equivalent is Juno. Cows and peacocks are sacred to her.

Depicted as solemn, usually crowned by Polosse, Polosse is a cylindrical crown worn by several great goddesses. Hera may have pomegranate in her hand, which symbolizes fertile blood and death, and is a substitute for opium poppy anesthesia capsules (Ruck and Staples 1994). Nevertheless, there are still memories of the early Anionic performance, which is a pillar in Argos and a plank in Samos.
