  1. Aurelia Felix, hora IV Hera • Greek name: Hera • Roman name: Juno • Parents: Cronus and Rhea • Sphere of influence: Marriage and Women • Attributes: The lotus-staff, diadem, cuckoo, peacock, and pomegranate • Birthplace: in the Diktaion cave on Mount Ida on the island of Crete, along with her other siblings • Favorite Places: Argos, Sparta, and Mycenae

  2. Hera sitting in a throne Hera is surrounded by a gold mist, sitting in a throne, holding a long staff. A cuckoo rests on the back of her chair. These characteristics make her seem very powerful for a goddess. After all, she is Zeus’s wife! This picture jumped out because it looked like Hera was all dressed in gold and actually had rule. She is holding a bowl out in her right hand, which looks like she’s offering somebody something. I chose this image because of the detail and age of this picture. Hera painted by Brygos Painter in 500 - 475 BC, currently at the Rhode Island School of Design

  3. Hera Oil-Painted In this painting, Hera sits in a throne with her staff in her left hand and a peacock on her right shoulder. She has curly brown hair, and a lavender cloak on. This picture caught my attention because of the artist’s mental image of Hera. To me, her face look more Western than Greek. I wouldn’t say the painter didn’t do a good job fabricating Hera, but the face wouldn’t have been the best choice of features. I chose this picture because it was in bright and vivid colors, and Hera’s gaze looks as if she is ready to rule. Hera painted by Sandra M. Stanton, in 1997
