T H E H ERA O F ZE U S
The goddess Hera is represented in mythology as an irascible wife and
imperfect mother in the face of a frivolous Zeus. Beginning with the
Iliad,
many narrative traditions depict her wrath, the infidelities of
her royal husband and the persecutions to which she subjects his
illegitimate offspring. But how to relate this image to the cults of the
sovereign goddess in her sanctuaries across Greece? This book uses
the Hera of Zeus to open up new perspectives for understanding the
society of the gods, the fate of heroes and the lives of men. As the
intimate enemy of Zeus but also the
fierce
guardian of the legitimacy
and integrity of the Olympian family, she takes shape in more subtle
and complex ways that make it possible to rethink the configuration
of power in ancient Greece, with the tensions that inhabited it, and
thus how polytheism works.
