Hera Juno Jupiter Peacock Sister Zeus Myth Protectress
EDITORS COMMENTS
Hera, the Greek Goddess of Marriage and Women, with her Sacred Peacock, Juno the Roman Equivalent This exquisite print depicts Hera, the ancient Greek goddess of marriage, women, childbirth, and family, as well as the protector of cities and goddess of the hearth. She is often depicted wearing a crown of ivy and a veil, symbolizing marriage and fertility. In this image, Hera is shown in her regal splendor, seated on a throne, adorned in elegant robes, and holding a scepter in one hand and a pomegranate in the other. The pomegranate is a symbol of fertility and abundance, representing the many offspring she has given birth to or protected as the wife and sister of Zeus, the king of the gods. Accompanying Hera is her sacred animal, the peacock, represented here by the magnificent bird spreading its vibrant plumage at her feet. The peacock was believed to have been given to Hera by Hephaestus, the god of fire, as a gift to win her favor. Hera's association with the peacock symbolizes her role as the protector of marriage and her ability to see the past, present, and future. The Roman equivalent of Hera is Juno, who shared many of the same attributes and was also the wife and sister of Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Zeus. This print captures the essence of the goddess's power, beauty, and grace, transporting us back to the mythological world of ancient Greece and Rome.
