I love all the people in this thread going on about how Hera's just so mean for going after Zeus's various, uh, targets, and that completely explains her bad reputation! Unlike Posidon (rapist), Athena (turned rape victim into monster), Apollo (ask Cassandra, for starters), Pan (rapist), Dionysus (rapist), Artemis (murder!), Hermes (tricksy little bastard)... Yeah... Somehow everyone can overlook those?

OK "tricksy little bastard" is not bad enough to belong on that list

There are some stories that suggest his tricks occasionally got a little bloodthirsty, but... [insert vague gesture in the direction of the various frequently contradictory sources that make up 'Greek Mythology' as a whole]

Oh, and he was also a rapist, but that was starting to get a bit repetitive. Of particular note is Apemosyne, who first got raped by Hermes, and then she told her brother, who beat her to death. Fun times!

Because the thread is about Hera and Zeus, not about other Gods? Point me towards anyone in this thread claiming that Hera is somehow the worst of all Greek Gods.

(Anonymous) 2020-11-25 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
...given the thread is about her being presented in an unfavourable light relative to the other Greek gods? I mean, you know the Percy Jackson books are about a son of Posidon, right? And they never ever mention the 'violent rapist' bit of Posidon's lore?
And you think that's not relevant to the conversation at hand?

(Anonymous) 2020-11-25 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
The thread hasn't been about the books for a long time, most comments are about the judgement of Hera's actions in the original Greek myths.

My eyes always ROLL whenever i people mention the medusa thing.

She was a monster in every other version of the tale. The rape victim story is utter horseshit please look this up.

yeah, you're not wrong, Ovid did a bit of a glow-up for her. Cassandra and Arachne suggests that Athena was def that sort of girl tho so...
