Hera, in Greek mythology, queen of the gods, the daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, and
the sister and wife of the god Zeus. Hera was the goddess of marriage and the protector of married women. She was the mother of Ares, god of war; Hephaestus, god of fire; Hebe, goddess of youth; and Eileithyia, goddess of childbirth. Hera was a jealous wife, who often persecuted Zeus's mistresses and children. She never forgot an injury and was known for her vindictive nature. Angry with the Trojan prince Paris for preferring Aphrodite, goddess of love, to herself,
Hera aided the Greeks in the Trojan War and was not appeased until Troy was finally destroyed. Hera is often identified with the Roman goddess Juno.

The Greek line
The Greeks had plenty of beautiful marble and used it freely for
temples as well as for their sculpture. They were not satisfied with
its cold whiteness, however, and painted both their statues and
their buildings.The Parthenon sculptures are the greatest works
of Greek art that have come down to modern times.
