Hera was worshipped throughout Greece, and the oldest and most important temples were consecrated to her. The Goddess took many forms, among them that of a bird. It goes back to a time when the creative force we call 'God' was conceived of as a woman. But her worship is actually far older than that of her husband. In Greek mythology, Hera was the reigning female goddess of Olympus because she was Zeus's wife. On the other hand, Hera aided the hero Jason, who would never have retrieved the Golden Fleece without her sponsorship. Later she stirred up the Amazons against him when he was on one of his quests. When he was still an infant, she sent snakes to attack him in his crib. Hera hated the great hero Heracles since he was the son of her husband Zeus and a mortal woman. Hera was the wife of Zeus and Queen of the Olympians.
