Hera is one of the most unsympathetic goddesses in Greek mythology. Trapped in a toxic marriage with the King of the Gods, her vast power relegated only to wives and marriage, she often takes her fury at Zeus’s infidelities out on his victims and their children. But is there more to Hera’s story than tragically misplaced vengeance?

Today, we discuss this complicated, fascinating goddess with bestselling author Jennifer Saint—and uncover the hidden and surprising complexities that make this goddess more than what she seems.
