Daughter of Cronos and Rhea, Hera is the Greek goddess of heaven and earth.  She was responsible for every aspect of existence, including the seasons and the weather. In honor of her great capacity to nurture the world, Hera was the goddess for women, marriage, family, and childbirth.  She formed the Milky Way with the overflowing milk from her breasts. Hera was revered for accompanying a woman through every step of her life and oversaw both the private and public affairs of women.  Be wary to cross her as she is a formidable foe.  This Zeus, her husband, learned too well.  Said to have feared nothing else, Zeus openly feared Hera’s wrath.  Although already married twice, Zeus fell in love with his beautiful sister.  Hera refused his proposal initially, but Zeus was determined to wed her.  Having little success in his courtship as King of the gods, Zeus instead played upon her empathy and kindness for animals. He created a  mighty thunderstorm and transformed himself into a delicate cuckoo bird.  Feigning great distress outside her window, tender-hearted Hera opened the window and warmed the chilled bird at her bosom.  Zeus returned to his true form and ravished her.  It is said that their honeymoon lasted for 300 years. Hera had three children with Zeus, namely Ares (god of war), Hebe (goddess of youth), and Eileithyia (goddess of childbirth).  Hera also had a child on her own, Hephaestus (god of the forge).  In some circles, Hera is predominantly remembered for her jealousy of the affairs of Zeus as well as the other children he sired.  But to reduce her to that, I imagine, would really inspire her ire.
