Teriyaki salmon rice bowl with spinach & avocado. Tender broiled salmon glazed with homemade teriyaki sauce on a bed of sushi rice, with spinach, sliced avocado and a sprinkling of toasted sesame & nori confetti.
I have a thing for rice bowls. There are many delicious rice bowls on Panning The Globe. And though I love them all, I have to say this teriyaki salmon rice bowl is my favorite. As many times as I make this recipe (often!), it's always a treat.
I also love that this bowl is filled with nutritious ingredients. There's Omega-3 fatty acids from the salmon and a good dose of iron & fiber from the spinach.
It has the gestalt of sushi but the salmon is cooked, the nori is toasted and sprinkled on top and everything is drizzled with tasty homemade teriyaki sauce.
Teriyaki sauce has 5 ingredients:
- soy sauce,
- mirin (rice wine)
- sugar
- garlic
- and ginger.
Simmer for ten minutes until slightly thickened and you've got delicious homemade teriyaki sauce.
Once the sauce has cooled, set some aside to baste your salmon. Baste the salmon before it goes into the oven and again halfway through cooking time.
Japan always ranks high for countries with the best longevity. This has been attributed to the fact that their diet is generally low in fat, with fish being the most common form of protein.
The tradition of serving seasonal vegetables with steamed rice, fish and other tasty things from the sea such as nori, has been central to Japanese cuisine for thousands of years.
This sesame-nori confetti is one one of my favorite recipe innovations. It adds great flavor and beauty to this dish.
If you want a quick weeknight teriyaki salmon rice bowl dinner, make the teriyaki sauce and toast the sesame seeds and nori in advance – you can keep both in airtight containers in the fridge for a week or so. The rice and salmon are best cooked fresh.
This is a very adaptable recipe. Eat it hot, cold or at room temp. Try it with different vegetables like sautéed snow peas, sugar snap peas or asparagus (cut on the diagonal into bite-sized pieces). Use tofu, chicken or beef instead of salmon. Make a teriyaki salmon rice bowl with short grain brown rice instead of white, for a big boost in fiber.
I'm sure you can think of lots of other variations – let me know if you come up with something really good!

Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowl with Spinach & Avocado
A healthy tasty meal in a bowl – Salmon, spinach and sushi rice with teriyaki sauce – sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and nori.
- Prep Time: 45 mins
- Cook Time: 25 mins
- Total Time: 1 hour 10 mins
- Yield: 4 1x
- Category: Lunch, brunch or dinner
- Method: oven, stovetop
- Cuisine: Japanese
- Salmon:
- 1 pound salmon fillet cut into 4 thin portions (skin on is fine)
- Teriyaki Sauce
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 3/4 cup Mirin (rice wine)
- 1/2 cup sugar (white or brown)
- 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic (optional)
- 1 teaspoon finely minced ginger (optional)
- Toasted Sesame and Nori:
- 1 8-inch square sheet of Nori, cut with a scissors into 1-inch strips. Stack the strips and cut crosswise into 1-inch by 1/4-inch confetti.
- 2 tablespoons of black or white sesame seeds, or a mixture of both
- Sushi Rice:
- 2 cups sushi rice (short grain rice)
- 2/3 cup homemade seasoned rice vinegar (see ingredients below) or you can buy seasoned rice vinegar in the Asian section of your grocery store.
- 1 cup rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- Sautéed Spinach:
- 20 ounces fresh spinach, washed
- 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
- Kosher salt
- Garnish:
- 1 bunch scallions, washed, trimmed, and sliced crosswise
- 1 Avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
- Make the teriyaki sauce: In a small saucepan bring soy sauce, mirin, sugar, garlic (if using) and ginger (if using) to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Toasted nori & sesame seeds: Toast nori and sesame seeds in a hot skillet for a minute or two, stirring and tossing constantly just until sesame seeds start to get a little brown. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Make the sushi rice: Rinse rice several times to remove excess starchy powder: put rice into a large bowl and cover by an inch with water. Swish rice around with your hands. Pour off cloudy water. Repeat 2 or 3 times more. Drain in a fine mesh colander. Cook rice per package directions. (about 2 1/2 cups water per 2 cups rice and a 15 minute simmer, covered) Remove rice from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- While rice is cooking, make seasoned rice vinegar: in a small saucepan bring rice vinegar, sugar and salt to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring, until sugar and salt are dissolved. Set aside. Transfer rice to a large nonmetallic bowl. Measure out 2/3 cup of seasoned rice vinegar and slowly pour it over the rice, while tossing and mixing it. Cover bowl with a cloth and set aside.
- Cook the spinach: Heat 1 tablespoons sesame oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add spinach and 2 tablespoons water to the pan. Cover pan and leave it for 2 minutes. Uncover and stir. Spinach will be mostly wilted. Cook, stirring for about a minute more until it is completely wilted. Sprinkle with a pinch or two of salt. Remove from heat.
- Cook the salmon: Preheat oven to broil and set the rack 8 inches from the top. Place salmon skin-side down on a foil-lined jellyroll pan. Pour 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce into a separate small bowl to use for glazing the salmon. Brush salmon with teriyaki sauce and cook for two minutes under the broiler. Pull salmon out of the oven and brush more teriyaki sauce on top. Return to the oven and cook for 1-3 minutes more, to your desired doneness. Better to undercook it slightly as it will continue to cook a bit even after it's out of the oven. Remove from oven.
- Assemble rice bowls: Put rice and spinach in the bottom of a bowl. Lay salmon on top. (skin will peel off easily, if you prefer it skinless) Garnish with avocado slices. Sprinkle with scallions and nori-sesame confetti. Drizzle with teriyaki sauce. Repeat for each bowl.
Nutrition Note: This recipe makes a generous portion of rice and teriyaki sauce. You will likely have some left over. The nutrition label assumes you will be consuming all the rice and teriyaki sauce. For special diets, calories, carbs and sodium levels can be lowered substantially depending on the amount of rice and sauce you add when assembling the bowls.

Rather than a recipe today, I bring you a review of one of my favorite NYC restaurants. There is a bit of copy paste from my food blog so please don't mind that :]
I begin today with Caravan of Dreams. I have always been a big fan of this place due to their lovely atmosphere and tasty food. Though they can get a bit pricy (especially at dinner time) the quality of their food is truly worth it. I always feel really good when I eat there, as their food is always super fresh and healthy.
My favorite part of Caravan of Dreams though is Brunch. They have a wonderful Pre-Fixe brunch option 7 days a week (before 5pm) of 15 dollars per person. Now this includes a coffee or tea, orange juice, sangria or virgin sangria, a house salad and one brunch item. Really a great deal! Considering their brunch items are about 12-13 dollars a la carte, the pre fixe is too good to pass up!
They have several different options for their brunch items such as pancakes, breakfast burrito, tofu omelet , tofu scramble, ect. Forrest, my boyfriend, got the breakfast burrito and I got the tofu scramble option. (Though I had actually ordered the tofu omelet but the waiter must have misheard me and I didn't bother to bring it up. I didn't want it to go to waste or have to wait for a new order to be made, it was still a tasty option!)
We began our meal with some tea and virgin sangria which was absolutely lovely. They use a mixture of grape and cranberry juice and fill it with tart green apples and little blueberries. It is ridiculously refreshing with just the right combination of tartness and sweetness.
Next came our house salads which are quite simple but super tasty. The dressing really pulls it all together and it is a great way to start a late morning brunch.
Finally came the main course. The portion seemed slightly small for the breakfast burrito (I feel that we had ordered it a few months ago and it was larger) but the flavor was great! I personally really enjoyed my tofu scramble as well. It wasn't quite a traditional tofu scramble but I truly liked the addition of carrots and cauliflower to the tofu. It was seasoned perfectly too.
We were pretty full by the end and thus skipped dessert but were overall quite satisfied. The service was very friendly but not overbearing. The only hiccup was the misunderstanding about which brunch item I wanted but I am sure if I had bothered to say anything I would have been accommodated right away.
Overall it was, as always, a pleasant experience and I highly recommend checking out Caravan of Dreams, especially for their brunch menu. Few vegan places have brunch all week long and this one is certainly worth trying.

Entrepreneur Njeri Rionge says strong indigenous, African-owned companies are needed in the motherland
For internet entrepreneur Njeri Rionge, Africa represents the next economic frontier. She say strong indigenous, African-owned companies are needed to take advantage of the boom times ahead.
Njeri Rionge
- Age: 46
- First business: Selling yogurt to two schools from a car trunk
- Worked as a hairdresser and started selling imported merchandise to her wealthy clients
- Took marketing and computer systems courses from American and Greek universities
- Founder and CEO of Ignite Consulting and Investment
- Co-founder and director of Wananchi Online
- Co-founder of Telkom Kenya
- Hobbies: Theatre, musicals, reading (especially books on her sector – ICT), shopping and travelling
- Interested in horticulture farming
- Member of East Africa Tea Trade Association, and the Institute of Directors of Kenya
- Says God is her biggest support system
14 May 2012 Last updated at 09:22 ET
Ms Rionge is as famous in Kenya for her success in starting up several companies at the same time as she is for Wananchi.com, a cable, broadband and internet-based telephone company.
She started her dot com dream and first big venture, Wananchi.com, with the hope of bringing internet connectivity to the masses. Today the firm has grown to become the largest internet service provider in East Africa and is worth $173 million (£107 million) a huge sum for a firm with an initial start-up of $500,000 (£308,000).
Midas Touch
Despite her determination to succeed, she has not always known what she wanted to do.
"I touched many things before I touched the thing that I turned to gold," she told the BBC's African Dream series.
"I did hairdressing, I did buying and selling of clothes in London and then the thing that actually created the opportunity for success."
That opportunity came in the form of Wananchi.com in 1999, at a time when very few people had internet access.
She envisioned the easy access of information via the internet as a way of bridging the gap between East Africa's educated elite and the rest of the population.
Despite the necessity of the internet in modern communication and education, the beginning of Wananchi.com was not without its hurdles and frustrations.
Speaking to the BBC just after the company's launch in 2000, Ms Njeri said she was frustrated with the failure of Kenya's politicians to embrace the internet age.
"The majority of decision-makers are not aware of the benefits of the internet and most of them are actually afraid of touching and using a computer," she said.
But today she believes money and the shortage of IT-skilled staff in Kenya are an even greater hurdle.
"The biggest challenge is human resources – how you actually maintain that success story on the human resource side of any business and also the funding and making sure that you always have enough capital to grow the business ," she told BBC Africa's Ruth Nesoba.
Build and move on
Twelve years on and she now includes Ignite, a management consultancy and Insight, a new-technology firm, among her many business interests.
Through them she encourages businesses to focus on online solutions to deal with their challenges.
"We are saying actually we need to have paperless offices," she said.
Ms Rionge's ambitions have never been to stick with one idea or project and she usually starts several projects at the same time.
"I said to myself a start-up has a very peculiar experience, I want all my start-ups to start at the same time when I have more energy."
She puts together the funds and plans needed to start and then passes the project on to be run by a CEO or managing director.
"I build organisations and then hand them over to someone else – that is my type of entrepreneurship," she said.
Attachment to an idea she may have nurtured from the very beginning never occurs.
"You will never find me hanging on in anything longer than I should."
She also says the more vocational certificate courses she studied helped give her a versatile and common-sense approach to setting up a new project.
"If you ask me to do a business plan I'll do it, if you ask me to be a systems administrator for the technological back-end of my infrastructure I will do that, if you ask me to be a creative person I will do that."
Nurturing talent
Despite this burgeoning umbrella of companies, it's her Business Lounge, a plush and modern looking space, created for entrepreneurs to brain-storm and network, which has proved a real labour of love.
"We encourage you to bring your ideas to the Business Lounge and [to] incubate them here for a period of time and within that incubation period we can actually support you," she said.
Ms Rionge now offers motivational talks and life coaching in the hope that her success will rub off and inspire other aspiring entrepreneurs.
She says resilience is the most important advice she can pass onto others who might want to follow her path.
"Every single entrepreneur must have a backbone, if you don't have the backbone and capacity to sustain and to be agile enough to organise your ideas and your business growth, then you're probably not made up for business or entrepreneurship."

Learning myth 3: You only use 10% of your brain
The ten percent myth is a pseudoscientific concept that humans only use ten percent of their brain capacity. It often claims that under the right conditions one could, somehow, tap in to the unused 90% of their brain, and become incredibly intelligent, telekinetic or even super-human. It claims that the human ability to process information is stunted by enigmatic limitations of the mind, and that infinite potential is just beyond our reach. If only we could utilise that 90%.
As always, the origins of myths are a little difficult to pin down.
This popular myth is believed to be born in the way all neuromyths seem to originate: the misinterpretation of a legitimate scientific claim.
Back in the 1890s, Harvard psychologists William James and Boris Sidis were researching and studying the child prodigy and all-round genius William Sidis. After discussing their findings with an audience, James made a passing comment that people only meet a fraction of their full mental potential.
Just like that, a neuromyth was born. Poor James had inadvertently kicked off an intellectual contagion that would prove to give scientists and neurologists headaches the world over in trying to dispel it. Try as they might, this myth quickly became ingrained in society and continues to pop-up in influential works, and movies. Somehow even Albert Einstein has become linked to this myth with the theory that his larger-than life intellect evolved from his ability to utilise 100% of his brain.
In 1936, Lowell Thomas summarised the ten percent myth in a foreword in Dale Carnegie's wildly influential How to Win Friends and Influence People. He incorrectly claimed that ""Professor William James of Harvard used to say that the average man develops only ten percent of his latent mental ability".
In the 1929's publication of the World Almanac, an entire page was devoted to the shocking claim that "There is NO LIMIT to what the human brain can accomplish. Scientists and psychologists tell us we use only about TEN PERCENT of our brain power." It's not confirmed as to where the number came from, and variations of that number have popped up all over with claims of 11% or even 15% of grey-matter being utilised.
The ability to harness and control the lazy 90% of our minds, is a compelling storytelling device and was the core concept in the 2011 film Limitless starring Bradley Cooper, and 2014's Lucy starring Scarlett Johansson. Even now, those who claim to have psychic abilities or paranormal experiences often attribute these skills to their untapped 90% kicking into gear.
Not even advancements in science could keep this myth firmly locked in the past along with other defunct scientific theories. In a study conducted in 2013 by Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, it was found that 65% of Americans believed the ten percent myth to be true. So more people believe in the 10% myth than in theory of evolution.
Unfortunately for telephone psychics and Mr Bradley Cooper, the ten percent myth is just not supportable from a scientific viewpoint.
Let's look at it this way: If we only used 10% of our brains, wouldn't this mean that you could theoretically remove that dormant 90% and still function normally? How many times have you heard someone say "it's okay, he was shot in the head but luckily it missed the operational 10%"?
The theory of evolution follows that our organs our shaped and moulded through natural selection and the brain itself uses 20% of our energy to function despite weighing only 2% of our total body mass. Which means that brain tissue is metabolically expensive to both grow and operate, therefore it would be a tremendous waste of energy and not evolutionarily prudent to be pumping so much energy into something that is 90% unused.
The truth is that when it comes to your brain, all regions might not be working cohesively all at once, all together, all of the time - but they are working. For example:
Like when you point at something, you are only using one finger. The other 9 are completely functional, they are just not needed right now. Same goes with your brain.
Even an action that appears simple, like ordering a coffee, takes an army of neural activity all over your brain. By walking to the cafe, calculating cash, planning your order, and chatting with the barista, the occipital and parietal lobes, motor sensory and sensorimotor cortices, basal ganglia, cerebellum and frontal lobes all hard at work behind the scenes getting you your cappuccino.
Neurologist Barry Gordon at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore says that when it comes to brain power, there is a lot more going on than just a meagre ten percent. "It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all the time."
Scans of brain activity show that just like the body's muscles, most of it is continually active over a 24-hour period. Even when you're sleeping, regions like the frontal cortex that is in charge of things like higher level thinking and self-awareness, are active.
Losing even a small portion of your brain, let alone 90% of it, has catastrophic results. Patients suffering strokes, lesions, traumas, and aneurysms face functional deficits of minor or major levels. It seems when it comes to the 10% rule, the maths just doesn't add up.
The durability of this myth is believed to be linked to our own conception of our brain. Dr Barry Gordon says that we want to see our "own shortcomings as a the evidence of untapped grey-matter". In short, we want to believe that we are actually a lot smarter than we appear and it's not our fault that our brain is not fulfilling its own potential.
The good news is that your brain definitely isn't falling behind in terms of performance, and you can now rest easy knowing that 90% of your brain isn't just freeloading and contributing nothing to your overall intellect.
The bad news is that if you were hoping to unlock that key 90% with fictional drugs or intense meditation, you may be fighting a lost cause. Let's leave the ten percent myth to Hollywood summer blockbusters and great science fiction novels, where it belongs.
Seven mega-trends that will influence the job market of 2030.

Question: were hera, athena, and aphrodite freinds?
Answer: They were like sisters.
Question: did hera kill her kids
Answer: No. This would not work for the goddess of marriage.
Question: How does Hera appear in our society?
Answer: We have marriage counselors.
Question: Why did hera get married to her brother?
Answer: There was nobody else to marry in her class. Her choice was which
brother to marry. It was Pluto, Poseidon, or Zeus. There were a few deities
outside of her class, but why they were not available is not clear. It might
have been necessitated by politics. Zeus, the head of his religion was mated
to Hera, the head of her religion.
Question: How many years was Hera when she had her first baby?
Answer: Ages of goddesses do not mean a lot and do not make sense. It is
best to say that she had her first baby at the perfect age for women to have
their first baby.
Question: Was Hera a redhead ?
Answer: I find no references to her hair color in the ancient literature.
All images make her hair black or brown. I think red is a possibility that
might explain her temper, but dramatic red would probably have been mentioned
in the literature.
Question: how old is she!
Answer: At least 27,000 years old if not older.
Question: how does she feel towards women in general?
Answer: If they are suitably respectful and do not try to seduce Zeus, she
is very patronizing.
Question: is hera and juno the same person?
Answer: Not exactly. Juno is the Roman version of Hera. She adopted all
of Hera's myths, but she has a few of her own.
Question: The name of land named after a women riding a bull? Is the answer Ionia?
Answer: No! Europe.
Question: why hera a good warrior
Answer: Hera schemes, but Athena and Artemis fight. Hera acts like a
general but she is not a warrior.
Question: what is a great deed or necessary service Hera performed?
Answer: Hera was the goddess of marriage. As such she managed the
institution of marriage. She listened to petitions and prayers and
meted out punishments for infractions of her rules or rewards for obedience.
Her greatest deed was probably her marriage to Zeus, for which she had to put
up with great indignities.
Question: was there anything good that hera ever did?
Answer: As the goddess of marriage Hera helped many women to have good
marriages. She also helped Jason.
Question: what relationships did hera have with other gods
Answer: Except for Zeus, who she has a stormy marriage with, she has
little to do with the other gods. She also has little to do with the
goddesses to whom Zeus is sexually attracted. She is nasty to the
goddesses who cross her and patronizing to those that aid her.
Question: does hera have big tits?
Answer: Because Hera is a goddess, everything she has is a perfect size.
Question: did hera have an emblem or talisman
Answer: A picture of a cow or a peacock.
Question: who was tthe preistess of hera at argoswho was loved by zeus?
Answer: Io.
Question: Is hera related or share the same stories with other gods or
Answer: All the deities are related and share stories.
Question: How is hera related to present day
Answer: The institution of marriage in still important, but the myths of Hera do not
set a good example anymore. New myths would have to be written.
Question: Why aren't there any recent pictures? ex: like any modern
person now painting pic.
Answer: Hera has not inspired modern artists nearly as much as Aphrodite
and Athena, though she is sometimes seen in the context of the judgement
of Paris.
Question: I thought gods and goddesses did't die, right?
Answer: Normally this is the case, but not always. Living deities
are not allowed in Hades, so Hades and Persephone are dead when they are

Answer: Mythology deals with the ancestry, and origins of a people and
includes their religion, deities, ancestors, and heroes. Stories that relate these together are often included. Mythology deals with spiritual values as opposed to facts that can be documented with scientific research. The ancient Greeks recognized the poetic nature of myths. For this reason the word 'myth' may have its root in Indo-European 'mū̆-', '(onomatopoeic: to hum, moo)' and 'dheu-', 'to flow, run'. The reason that myth appears as poetry is probably that poetry is easy to remember and the myths represent the most memorable stories for a people who cannot write down their stories.

Question: is hera gay
Answer: We have no way of knowing this. A gay person will often admit to
prefering sex with a partner of the same sex. But unless a women tries same
sex relations she may not know. Because a woman may take a passive role in
a sex relation she can perform sex quite well with a man even though she may
prefer sex with a woman. Hera has never had any sexual relations with a woman
that I know of so she does not know whether she prefers lesbian sex or not.

They only did favors for their friends. And you had to do a lot to become a friend of a hetaerae. The whores of ancient Greece were slaves who were forced to perform sex by their master. You
had to pay money to the master to get sex from the slave.
Question: Why was Hera so mean
Answer: There was no Devil for the Greeks. They believed evil came from
the whims of the deities. What you are calling mean is the Hera that is portrayed in the myths. But there is no way that Hera can really be called mean because the divinities are all perfect. The motives of the gods are beyond human cognition. She seems mean to mortals
but you notice in the myths ultimatly good often comes from her behavior. She seemed mean to Herakles, but she made him into a hero. Ultimately he became a god. She may have provided the path to divity for him. In reality it is hard to believe good will come without some effort. So when that effort is stimulate it is hard to refer the cause as mean.

Question: what god has more followers thanhera?
Answer: In general need determined which deity a person followed. But it was not a matter of following one to the exclusion of others. You had to be fairly sensitive to your needs because you did not want to ignore deities that you actually needed. There were many cases where a deity was forgotten with disasterous consequences. Some indication of followers is the number of temples that were built for a goddess. The most popular goddess was probably Hestia because every town had its prytaneum which contained the sacred fire of Hestia. Athena would be the next most popular with Artemis following her based on the ruins of temples that still exist.
Question: Why is there a godess like this?
Answer: It is true enough to answer that she was born this way. But you can go way beyond this. The study of ancient religions is interesting because this reveals a lot about human nature, and it reveals a lot about the societies that suppoted those ways of worship. Hera's struggles probably reveal a lot about women's struggles in the ancient Greek Society. The ancient Greek women probably had a hard time keeping their husbands faithful and they probably worked hard at it. As Hera had power so the women had power but they also had to put up with humiliation and isolation.
Question: what does hera do for a living?
Answer: On the Earth man lives in society governed by various types
of political systems using legislated and enforced laws. In the heavens
deities rule use divine laws. Divine laws are not enforced, but rather
cause events to happen by necessity. The ancient Greeks felt that these
divine laws came about though the legislation of the deities. These
deities were an aristocracy divided into separate realms and sub-realms.
The deities of the sub-realms were the servants of the deities of the
realm. Zeus ruled over all with all reality divided into twelve realms
under him. Hera was the goddess of marriage which formed one of the
twelve realms. Her job was to legislate divine laws relating to marriage.
She made a rule a law simply by thinking about it. As with mortal government
legislation was easy. Unlike mortal law enforcement divine enforcement is easy. The problem
comes with the results. Many suffer under the effects of a law and seek
consideration and redress. These so effected petition Hera in the form
of prayers which she must listen to. She must then take action on the basis
of the facts presented. This is how Hera spends most of her time. She
considers prayers and decides whether to answer them or not. She answers
them by bring into reality what is prayed for.

Question: WHAT DID HERA CREATE?
Answer: The children she produced was the result of a creative act. But
a goddess normally creates very little besides thoughts. These thoughts
form universal laws of nature by which things behave. When humans produce
things they must obey the laws of nature which the gods ordain. Since
Hera is the goddess of marriage, family life is most affected by her creation.
Question: Who is Hera's uncle?
Any of the male Titans except Cronus would be her uncle: Atlas, Coeus,
Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus, Oceanus, Pallas, Persus, Prometheus.
Question: What did hera feel when she knew that her husband was cheating on her.
Answer: She felt there was not a whole lot she could do about it. But
she did try to maintain her marriage and her dignity even though the other
deities were aware of what was going on. In this way she set an example for
other women. One wonders what kind of example Zeus set for the men.
Hera should have set the example for both sexes. Marriage plainly involves
give and take and it seems unlikely that the woman is the only one to give.
Divine marriages did not alway occur for moral reasons; the hope is the
ancient Greek families understood this and based their marriage on more
practical examples. It is possible that Zeus provided an example of what not to do.
Question: why can't hera marry any one then zeus.
Answer: Hera chose Zeus because she thought he would be a good mate.

later their relation improved. She has not had any trouble with him for over
two thousand years..

achievement. A goddess rules her realm. This means making sure the rules for the realm are good and fair. It also means listening to prayers and petitions and then acting on them. What Hera does affects the personal achievements of mortals but her own achievement is no different than her realm.

Answer: Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca E1. 20 (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.):"Ixion fell in love with Hera and attempted to rape her; and when
Hera reported it, Zeus, wishing to know if the thing were so, made a cloud in
the likeness of Hera and laid it beside him; and when Ixion boasted that he
had enjoyed the favours of Hera, Zeus bound him to a wheel, on which he is
whirled by winds through the air; such is the penalty he pays. And the cloud,
impregnated by Ixion, gave birth to Centaurus."

Question: What was the bad thing that made Zeus so mad at her?
Answer: Homer Iliad 15.13 records Zeus speaking of his displeasure:
""Hera, that art hard to deal with, it is the craft of thine evil wiles [15] that hath stayed goodly Hector from the fight, and hath driven the host in rout. Verily I know not but thou shalt yet be the first to reap the fruits of thy wretched ill-contriving, and I shall scourge thee with stripes. Dost thou not remember when thou wast hung from on high, and from thy feet I suspended two anvils, and about thy wrists cast [20] a band of gold that might not be broken? And in the air amid the clouds thou didst hang, and the gods had indignation throughout high Olympus; howbeit they availed not to draw nigh and loose thee. Nay, whomsoever I caught, I would seize and hurl from the threshold until he reached the earth, his strength all spent. Yet not even so was my heart [25] eased of its ceaseless pain for godlike Heracles, whom thou when thou hadst leagued thee with the North Wind and suborned his blasts, didst send over the unresting sea, by thine evil devising, and thereafter didst bear him away unto well-peopled Cos. Him did I save from thence, and brought again [30] to horse-pasturing Argos, albeit after he had laboured sore. Of these things will I mind thee yet again, that thou mayest cease from thy beguilings, to the end that thou mayest see whether they anywise avail thee, the dalliance and the couch, wherein thou didst lie with me when thou hadst come forth from among the gods, and didst beguile me."
Question: Was Hera related to Isis
Answer: Only vaguely. Isis was an Egyptian Persephone.
Question: did she ever kill innocent people because of Zeus or have we
got the wrong picture about her altogether?
Answer: Wrong picture. The ancient Greeks had no devil and it is
important that Hera not be made into one (of course traditional Christians
feel all the Greek deities are devils). For the Greek evil resulted from
the whims of the deities. Yet it is only evil to us. To them this was
part of a divine plan that only they could justify. The myths cannot
truely be interpreted in this way, but generally provide some moral message.
The myths about Hera may relate to the extent to which a wife must go to
stabilize her family and marriage. They do not seem that applicable today
but they probably relate to accepted knowledge in ancient Greece.

Question: who were the allies of hera and why were they on her side
Answer: When the Judgement of Paris went in favor of Aphrodite, Hera and
Athena encouraged the Achean Greeks to attack and fight Troy, where
Helen stayed encouraged by Aphrodite. So the main division of the Trojan war involved Aphrodite on the side of Troy while Hera and Athena supported the mainland Greeks (Achaeans). Many of the other deities also took sides. On the Achaean side were the deities Poseidon, Hermes, and Hephaestus. On the Trojan side were the deities Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Leto, and Xanthus. Thge rationale for this division is not clear. Iliad, Bk 20.

Question: can a goddess die or be killed and how
Answer: Death does not mean the same for a goddess. A goddess cannot die
in the mortal sense. If a goddess, such as Persephone, visits Hades she is
dead while she is there, but most goddesses are prohibited from doing this.
When she leaves Hades she is alive again. Mortals cannot leave Hades, but
goddesses can. If a goddess were to be thrown into Tartaros, as some Titans
were, they would be as good as dead because they would have no control over
their realm. A goddess who is ignored by mortals is as good as dead also.
Question: do you sex

trouble with her husband.

Question: If Hera was the goddess of marriage, and she could control the
outcome, then why didnt she make she and zeus have a good, faithful marriage?
Answer: The one person in the universe she could not control was her
husband Zeus. This was probably because the wives of ancient Greece had a
similar challenge. Women generally only had the ways of Hera to stabilize
their marriage. But it was a matter of life and death for a woman. A man
could get rid oh his wife easily if she was not satisfactory while a woman
could not divorce her husband. When a woman was no longer a wife her status
was greatly reduced.

realm of the olympians and had no knowledge of and no feelings about any of
the olympic happenings.
Question: What was the position of the thorne room?
Answer: In the typical Greek palace the guest enters the front door and
passes into the main court of the palace. This is where most of the cooking
takes place and most of the entertaining. The door to the throne room is
on the opposite side of the court. The throne is often placed on the far
end of this room on the outside wall of the palace. Above the throne room
is the women's apartments. Beneath the throne room is the treasury. Next
to the throne room is the men's room where a symposium is given. Around the
court may be storage rooms which open on the court. In the Iliad is the phrase 'ξεστῇς αἰθούσῃσιν ἐνίζανον' which is where Zeus calls a meeting of the gods. One translation is 'marble gallery'. Another is 'arcades of polished marble'. A literal translation may be 'a scraped out warm place to sit and listen they settled in to' The meeting seems not to be in a throne room previously described but in the court of the palace. In fact it seems a lot like rooms described in archaeological sites which consist of a fire pit surrounded by benches of stone surrounded by walls. If there were a roof it would have a large hole to let out the smoke. Only Zeus would have been on a chair-like throne. The other benches would be on the benches or on the ground. All this is suggested by the possibility that the Indo-European roots of αἰθούσῃσιν are 'ai-dh-', 'to burn, shine'; 'ōus-', 'ear', and 'ē̆s-', 'to sit'
Question: Do you (you personaly) believe that Zues and Hera run the universe, etc.?
Answer: All I care about is that the classical Greeks believed that Zeus ran the Universe. The Minoans probably believed that Hera ran the Universe. I do not believe that anyone believed that they both ran the Universe at the same time. During the classical period the other gods and goddesses were just as important as Hera for running the universe. But a comment about what 'running the universe' means in important. One of the most important concepts of ancient Greece is that the universe is law bound. Even the gods had to obey laws. Each of the deities were personifications of realms with natures and properties. To know the deity was to know the property or law. So the proper question is not who ran the universe but what is its nature. Once that question is asked then Science can begin. It is no accident that Science began in ancient Greece.
Question: When the ancient Greeks siad that Zues raped and cheated on Hera,
couldn't that have just been a "cover up" for most men? Wouldn't they reason
that if a god can cheat and rape, can't they?
Answer: No. Your logic does not follow. The sexual relations of the God's
explain why things are the way they are, not how they ought to be. Zeus's
behavior may well have provided an example of what not to do. If a man were
to rape his wife, she might retaliate by stealing his belongings, or hurt him
in other ways. A man needs a trustworthy wife or he needs a lot of
trustworthy servants to control an untrustworty wife. In primitive times
it was often customary for a man to steal his wife. But even then it was
desirable to woo her so he could have her cooperation and consent. Otherwise
he would have an untrustworthy wife. I suppose you could steal a wife,
determine her trustworthyness, and then dump her if she was not trustworthy
but I find little evidence of this. Possibly, one of the reasons the marriage
partners were arranged by the parents was that they were a better judge of
The ancient Greeks were so afraid of spousal cheating that they set up a
system where cheating was very difficult. Wives and daughters were isolated
and pampered. But this did not mean that men left other women alone. It was
the unfortunate slave women who received the abuse. But their legal system
did not count this type of activity.
Question: what does hera's symbol the cuckoo mean?
Answer: First realize that the association of a symbol with a goddess
defines its meaning, not the other way around. Then consider the
- Zeus took the form of a cuckoo when he wooed her.
- The cuckoo is considered the herald of spring.
- A cuckoo and a pomegranate are a symbol of conjugal love and fruitfulness.
- Birds generally refer to a union of body and soul.
- According to one version of a myth, Zeus first lay with Hera
on Mt Coccygas (the name means 'cuckoo'), not far from Argos.
- Mount Thornax (Cuckoo Mountain) in Argolis was a center of her worship.

Question: why did Greeks say that Zeus raped and had sex with mortals if there was no proof of this happening? did woman come out and say "last night Zeus raped me"??
Answer: The driving force behind these stories was not what you might
think. It might be easy for a woman who got pregnant out of wedlock to make
such a claim to get her off the hook, but actually the divinities were not
fond of persons that told on them. Much more important was the fact that the
offspring of Zeus was invariably talented, famous and a credit to the family.
Any parent would want Zeus to find favor with one of their daughters. Also
it would allow the family to trace their blood line back to Zeus. It was a
matter of high status to be decended from Zeus. One difficult thought is the
extent that a parent would expose a daughter in hopes of obtaining such
and offstring. Andromeda was chained to a rock by the shore as bait for a
monster. One has to wonder if other daughters were chained by their parents
in hopes of an offspring of Zeus. Another thought has to do with fertility considerations. An ancient Greek girl wanted to become pregnant with a baby that would grow to a hero. The suggestion is that she might pray to zeus that she become pregnant. The best situation is that he would visit her in the form of her husband to impregnate her. Thus the stories of rape may relate to fertility.
Question: What is heras golden throne
Answer: "I sing of golden-throned Hera whom Rhea bare. Queen of the Immortals is she, surpassing all in beauty: she is the sister and wife of loud-thundering Zeus, – the glorious one whom all the blessed throughout high Olympos reverence and honour even as Zeus who delights in thunder" Homeric Hymn XII To Hera

sat on stools.

Question: did Zeus and Hera have sex everyday?
Answer: Some say Zeus and Hera do not have sex anymore, because Hera
has not had any children in a long while, but this could not be true.
Godesses have a limited number of children because this must be the perfect
situation. They seem to have control of their ovulation because the children of deities are always deities that have some reason for coming into being.

Question: what were heras values?
Answer: A goddess does not have values, only thoughts and actions. Values
are only applicable to the lives of mankind. A human can see the value of
Hera for man. What Hera does is define the realm of marriage for man. How
her system works for man is its value.
Question: Did Hera have sex often?
Answer: Hera has sex almost as often as she wants. Sometimes she has to
borrow the girdle of Aphrodite to get Zeus interested in sex. But because she incorporates perfection her need for sex must be different.
Question: Was there ever a time other than helping a woman with her marriage that she was kind or nice to a human or godess female?
Answer: Since marriage was her realm most of her good efforts were done
in this area. Hera was quite fond of Jason and helped him in a number of ways.
Question: In what ways did Hera and Aphrodite compete with each other and over what?
Answer: Goddesses do not generally compete, but rather are confined to
a realm. Hera and Aphrodite were brought to a sort of competition when
they were both part of the judgement of Paris. This was a matter of their
beauty or the value of their gifts. Neither of these issues can really
be decided, but Aphrodite got the judgement though bribery. Hera was not happy with that and her actions led to the Trojan War.
Question: What was the place/city called where Hera was born.
Answer: Argos and Samos lay principle claim to this honor. But when
Hera was born she was immediately swallowed by her father. Later Zeus made
Cronus regurtate Hera. Her place of birth could be either where she came
out of her mother, or where she came out of her father.
Question: Why do you like Hera so much!
Answer: There is much to like about Hera, but rather than liking her I am just trying to be fair. The fact is that she is a goddess and it is not for mere humans to be judgemental about a goddess. The stories of Hera have inspired many works of art and I enjoy the art she has inspired.
Question: Is Hera a giving person? Does she always give people what they want if they honor her?
Answer: All goddesses are basically giving in the sense that they share
their realms with humans. But no goddess gives people exactly what they want
even if they honor her. She must rate the worthiness of each rquest. She
must also consider how the request fits her plans. It in not possible to know
whether any given request will be accepted.
Question: has she ever killed anyone be4
Answer: A goddess is allowed to punish with death anyone she considers bad.
It is common for a goddess to carry out this punishment. Most ancient Greek
people were careful to appease a goddess so they will not be so punished.
Question: this is fake right!
Answer: Hardly, what I try to do is present the beliefs and ideas of the
ancient Greeks. There is a tense problem though. According to the ancient
Greeks the goddesses are immortal. That means that they are just as much
alive today as then. Thus talk of a goddess is in the present tense. The
talk of the ancient Greeks themselves must be in the past tense. Thus the
ancient Greeks believed that Hera punishes bad people with death. If they
were right she must still be doing it. As evidence that this is true one
can cite the many lovers that are murdered by their lover. Appeasing the
goddess may only involve respecting your lover or spouse since it can be
argued that this is all that Hera wants. And since Hera is no more or less than a personification of marriage and honor, and these are important considerations, even today, then a knowledge of these institutions is in order anyway.
Question: who is Heraclea (Heraclyia, sp?)
Answer: There are several cities in Turkey named Heraclea and one in Greece
named Herakleia. These cities may have been named to honor Hera.
Question: how was Hera treated when she was younger or when they are created they are a surten age and they stay that age for the rest of eturnety
Answer: Normally a goddess matures very rapidly and she is able to assume
control of her realm immediately after birth. She does not change after
Question: If we went to Greek today could we see Hera?
Answer: Sculptures and images of Hera exist in many museums around the
world including in Greece. The ancient Greeks believed she was an immortal
goddess and they believed she is as alive today as during their time. But
as the queen of the universe they did not believe she was confined to Greece.
They thought she could visit you anywhere you were. They believed that
she could visit me in Kent, Ohio, but I have not recognized her here. But they
also believed that she could visit me in the guise of a stranger, as one of
my friends, or even as a cow. So I really have no way of knowing if she has
been to Kent. If she came she did nothing to allow me to recognize her.
Goddesses allow you to recognize them when they change to an animal before
your very eyes, heal you of disease, or accurately foretell your future.
Or they might appear very large, or in a very radiant garment. Perhaps you
can recognize Hera in your neighborhood.
Question: how long did hera save marriages
Answer: As long as there are marriages there will be those that need to be saved.
Question: Would Hera have a motive to kill Zeus?
Answer: No. Especially since it would be impossible. Deities cannot kill
other deities. This would be a violation of their immortality. They may be
able to kill themselves however.
Question: Did Hera livew with Zeus or on her own?
Answer: Hera lives in the palace of Zeus on Mt. Olympus.
Question: is there any songs on hera or about hera or decribers her
SONG OF THE WEDDING BED Bride, warm with rosecolored love, Brightest ornament of the Paphian, Come to the bedroom now, Enter the bed and play tenderly With your man. May the evening star Lead you e Here are a couple from ancient times: When you will gaze in wonder Before the silver throne of Hera, Queen of Marriage. --Sappho I. To Hera I sing of gold-throned Hera, Rhea born, Immortals' Queen - Her form outshineth all - the sister of loud-thund'ring Zeus, and wife, sublime; the Bless'd on Bless'd Olympus' peak revere and honor Her as much as Zeus. --Homeric hymn.
Question: when hera drugged zueses drink did he try to kill her or try to lert her live?
Answer: Neither. Hera is immortal and cannot be killed. But look more at the concept of drugs. The ancient Greeks thought drugs could be effective. One has to wonder where the idea came from. The ancient Greeks believed drugs can be used against deities and mortals.
Question: What is hera's regard for authority
Answer: Within their realm the goddess is the last authority, but according
to the Greeks a goddess is limited by fate, justice, and reason. Also Zeus has the last word on everything since he is mor powerful than all the rest of the deities combined.
Question: WHY DIDN'T HERA EVER REMARRY
Answer: Divorce was not acceptable to the Goddess of marriage.
Question: Was Hera a black woman, white, asian, or what
Answer: None of these. Hera was a goddess. Whenever she appeared to people she always wore familiar garb that would allow her to be recognized by those people. To the Greeks she looked like a Greek, but to an African pygmy she looked like an African pygmy. This does not mean that she is always recognized. But she is a goddess for every mortal.
Question: what weapon represents her
Answer: Hera sometimes appears with a spear.
Question: what was heras plant?
Answer: Gaia gave Hera golden apples of the Hesperides. Plant associated with her include pomegranate, willow, and lotus.
Question: was hera good or evil
Answer: The answer to this question depends upon who is answering and when.
As a goddess Hera prepares a divine plan which she then brings into being.
Unfortunately we, as mortals, cannot know every detail of this plan because the
plans of the divine are beyond our comprehension. Sometimes this plan helps
some individuals and hurts others. To those she helps she seems good while
those who are hurt regard her as evil. But in reality both just have too
narrow a view. All parts of the plan are in fact good from the point of view of Hera.
Question: when naked did hera look beter than the women zeus had affairs
Answer: Usually. But remember that forbidden fruit is often sweeter than
fruit that is ready at hand. And what is in front of you is easier to attend to than something that is only a memory.
Question: why did zues cheet on hera ?
Answer: Are you sure it was cheating? Zeus had to bring into reality all
those heros and heroines.
Question: how does tethys fit into her childhoo, because didn't she get swallowed by her father as an infant?
Answer: Tethys was a Titan and an aunt of Hera. Hera was swallowed by
her father and later regurgitated. Hera may have been full-grown at that
point. But Hera would have needed a chaperone until she married Zeus.
This was the role that Tethys took.
Question: Why was Hera the queen of heaven?
Answer: Hera was queen of heaven as a result of marrying Zeus. It is unlikely that she was always the queen of heaven. Originally Zeus and Hera may have had the same relation as Ouranous and Gaea. Hera would have been a goddess of the earth. Later other earth goddesses developed including Gaea, Rhea, Demeter, and Cybele and Hera passed her realm of earth to these other goddesses. Zeus began as a weather god and seems to have expanded his realm to include the whole universe. Then Hera became queen of the universe by virtue of her marriage to Zeus.
Question: what was her clothing made of and was it provocative
Answer: Hera's clothing was made of gossamer. It is totally revealing
and provocative. It can be opaque but shimmery but is often transparent. During Classical Greece the goddesses were often portrayed as clothed. But it was a perfect kind of clothing. Later the goddesses were portrayed nude because this image symbolized an ideal form of feminine power. This kind of portrayal continued in its popularity when the Catholic Church declared that nudity of mortals was immoral. The clothing portrayed on art from classical Greece represented the clothing that was commonly worn then. Common fabrics included wool linen, cotton, and both native silk and that from China. Some outfits were elaborately embroidered, some opaque, some shear. In the art some fabrics are portrayed in a ideal way that no real fabric can conform too. These are the gossamer fabrics.
Question: since she is the goddess of maraige then what responsabilities does she have?
Answer: She establishes the natural laws by which a marriage operates. She
then listens to appeals that are made by mortals. These appeals come as
prayers and petitions with gifts. She must then decide whether and how to
respond. She also checks for proper respect for her role and punishes
those who seek to disrespect her or take advantage of her.
Question: did she have a violent temper
Answer: She had a temper, but it was not violent.
Question: Did Hera love Zeus?
Answer: Yes. As the goddess of marriage it was necessary for her to
love her husband. She also loved him because he was the main god.
Question: Aphrodite is often dipicted as very beautiful, such as in movies,if Hera is the most beautiful goddess, why is Aphrodite usually prettier?
Answer: Most of the goddesses are strikingly beautiful. Which one is most
beautiful is a matter of opinion. Courtesy requires that you address the one
in front of you as the most beautiful. But it would not be correct to publicly
awow one as the most beautiful unless, like Paris, you want to incur the
wrath of the others.
Question: was hera a lesbian?
Answer: It would not do for the goddess of marriage to be a Lesbian.
But Hera could have been bisexual as were many of the Greeks. Homosexuality was much more accepted in ancient Greek society than in contemporary society.
Question: what does hera look like?? the color of her hair, facial facts,clothing she wore,and eye color?
Answer: We know hera was strikingly beautiful but she also had the ability
to change her shape at will. She would invariably appear to mortals in
a form familiar to them so she is often represented by different images.
Ancient Greek images show Hera with black or brown hair.
Her hair is always beautiful and makes her look like a queen.
She is the queen of heaven so she likes to dress up even on a normal
day. She like to wear a peplos made of a finely women material, with a circle
crown in her hair. Hera in action, Berlin F 2531.
Hera is a mature and beautiful woman who looks slightly older than
Aphrodite and is still as beautiful as she is. Her eyes look large and she
always wears her crown, fine gown, and expensive jewelry. She acts like the
Queen of the Universe (which she is).
Question: where can we find poems on hera?
- The Iliad of Homer
- Stenichorus the poet. He went blind after writing a poem placing all blame for the Trojan war on the Goddess. His sight returned after he wrote a second poem to recant the first.
- 305-329: this selection from Homeric Hymn to Apollo tells about Hera and Hephaestus. HH3 305
- Valery, Paul (1871-1945). "L'histoire d'Hera." Poem.
Question: Did Zues Really kill Hera?
Answer: Certainly not. Hera is immortal and cannot be killed.
Question: How did she feel?
Answer: How Hera feels depends on the time and events that are happening.
She is especially sensitive to her realm of marriage.
Question: What or who was her love?
Answer: Mainly Hera loved status. She also loved her husband Zeus and
she loved Jason as well. She has also loved other humans from time to time.
Question: according to most, is Hera attractive?
Answer: Some consider Hera the most attractive goddess. But not everyone
sees her true beauty. She would often appear to a worshipper in the guise
of a friend of the worshipper to improve her reception. The worshipper
would not get to see the true beauty of the goddess.
Question: I need to know what the dominion was of Hera.
Answer: In this article I refer to the realm of Hera. This means
the same as the dominion of Hera. Goddesses are like ruling queens, but
many, such as Hera, rule natural processes rather than geographical areas.
A normal queen has a legislativive, judicial, and administrative function.
She passes laws for her subjects, hears cases where her subjects are in
conflict and cannot figure out how to apply the law, punishes violators of
the law, and appoints persons to help her carry out the law and enforce it.
This is human law administered to humans. A goddess works with divine laws.
The laws that she passes are either natural laws or moral principles. Natural
laws operate by necessity and require no enforcement. Moral laws must be
enforced. The ancient Greeks considered breaking a moral law to result in the
disfavor of the goddess. This resulted in bad things happening. The goddess
could be petitioned through prayer. The judicial function of the goddess
involved listening to prayers and excusing moral laws if warrented. boons
can also be granted to worthy individuals. The administrative funtion of a
queen involved appointing subordinates to carry out the law: police, judges,
tax collectors, jailers, etc. The goddess has her temples, priests and
priestesses, seers, and devotees.
Hera is the goddess of marriage. The institution of marriage is her realm
or dominion. The laws she passed relate to the success of a marriage. An
example of a natural law is that only couples of a man and a woman can have
a baby. A moral law states that you should only have sex with your spouse.
A prayer to Hera might ask that you might be forgiven an extra-marital affair.
Hera might punish you anyway by causing your face to wrinkle. She might give
you the boon of allowing your daughters to get married.
It is interesting that goddesses have such involved realms because it
seems they must know something of ruling and politics. None of the ancient
Greek ladies seem to know anything of this. In fact the governance of the
divinities did not mirror the human government of the archaic and classic
periods. Nor do the ladies of the heroic period, even though, during that
period, there were queens such as Clytemnestra. But this does seem to reflect
a governance of some older society. The suggestion is that this is the form
of governance of the Mycenaean and Minoan societies, where women did seem
to rule.
Question: What was Hera and Zeus's marriage life like?
Answer: Lively.
Question: what's hera revenge
Answer: In order to create heros Zeus was sexually attracted to a number of
earthly women. Hera was jealous of these laisons and persecuted either the
women or their offspring. This persecution is referred to as Hera's revenge.
Question: is hera still alive or dead
Answer: The ancient Greeks believed she was alive and that she was immortal.
They believed that she would still be alive today. Marriage is still an
important institution so you could argue that in so far as she personifies
marriage as the goddess of marriage, that she is still alive today. There may
even be people that still worship her today. The fact that their prayers may
be answered would support her existance. But Christians often contend that
if she exists she is part of the Devil. The Devil as the ruler of Hell would
have to be considered dead. In this context the Christians contend that
all gods and goddesses of ancient Greece are alike dead, but a closer truth is
that they never lived. In stark contrast to this claim are the many
testimonials carved into the ancient Temples that certify that miracles
occurred at the behest of goddesses. Of course these testamonials stop
about 125 AD.
Question: Was Hera ever considered kind, if so, by who and how ?!?!
Answer: Because of Hera's faults, it was easier for women to identify
with Hera. Women often turned to Hera for help. Her many temples and
dedications suggest that she was seen as generous by many of her worshippers.
Question: Who was Hera's favorite mortal?
Answer: Jason of the Argonauts
Question: Did Hera have as much power as Zues?
Answer: No. Zeus had as much power as all the other gods and goddesses
put together. In fact the power of Hera seems to be behind that of Athena,
Aphrodite, Artemis, and maybe Persephone. But because they are in different
realms this does not mean much. Even the weakest goddess can be the most
important if her realm is needed. And the accessability is also important.
Hecate is the most accessable because she controls luck. Athena is the
least accessible because of her virginal purity. Because of her difficulties
Hera was one of the most accessible of the major goddesses.
Question: was hera really mean to zeus and hercules?
Answer: No. Any activity of Hera is part of a divine plan which is beyond
human cognition. The myths suggest she was mean. Why this is true may relate to the role of women in ancient Greece.
Question: References to hera in today's culture
- The Hadron-Electron Ring Accelerator HERA is the largest particle accelerator at the German Electron Synchrotron DESY in Hamburg.
- There are a number of cities named after Hera including two in turkey named Heraclea and one in Greece named Herakleia.

Question: did zeuse rape hera
Answer: Zeus turned himself into a cuckoo which was Hera's favorite pet.
When Hera fondled the bird Zeus took advantage of the situation and forced
himself sexually upon Hera. She then felt it necessary to marry Zeus so
he would be the father of her child. In the sense that he forced himself
upon Hera this must be considered rape. But he did not seize her or brutalize
her in any way. Even so it is not a good way to start a marriage relationship. Still Hera seems to have accepted this act favorably has she did not prosecute Zeus and committed to marry him. She is still his wife.
Question: What is the name of Hera's temple?
Answer: The temple of Hera at Olympus is called the Heraion. In Samos is the
Great Hera Temple. The remains of many of her temples can be seen today.
Question: Is Hera a Myth or Legend
Answer: Hera is an immortal goddess. Since she is the goddess of marriage,
and marriage still functions as an institution, you can be assured that
she exists as much now as in the days of the ancient Greeks. This is true
even though her worship is dead. Myths contain stories about
Hera. The Iliad and the Odyssey contain come of those myths. They are called
myths because there is no physical evidence for their verification. The
ancient Greeks believed in the truth of these stories, but we no longer do.
Myths form a part of the religious beliefs of a culture while legends do not.

The 19th century Donegal poet, lamenting his drowned son, comes closest to capturing our devastation at the news that Martin McGuinness is gone.
An chéad Mháirt de fhómhair ba brónach tuirseach mo scéal.
Lámh thapa a bhí cróga ag gabháil rohmam ar leaba na n-éag.
On the First Tuesday of autumn, sorry and tired was my news.
A fast hand which was brave going before me to the bed of the dead.
For in him, we had a hero and a champion who stood always by our side. While the commentariat assess his life's journey in parts, we see only the whole of the moon. The Martin McGuinness who faced down the powerful on the streets of his native Derry was also the Martin McGuinness we revered as a fearless peacemaker.
His was a life spent in selfless service. A life of patriotic and selfless endeavour. A life of endurance, resolve and unstoppable commitment. Until midnight on March. 20
He was our North Star.
No matter how great the challenge or how intimidating the task, he rose again and again. And on every occasion, his integrity and nobility brought his people with him. His every action inspired confidence and courage in others. His humour and big heart got us through the trials of politics. His compassion and kindness emboldened us to reach further and higher.
We admired him as a comrade and leader, of course. But that wasn't even the half of it. We loved him. In turn, he believed that love would conquer all. Indeed, he went on to prove that as the pre-eminent peacemaker of his time, befriending in particular those who knew what it was like to have been in the trenches.
And while his astonishing ability to build bridges did indeed win over many hearts, it also meant that when he called time on efforts to turn back the clock, his people rallied like never before.
Today is filled with sorrow, but in time to come, wherever people gather to seek justice, they will take great strength and succour from his memory. And every time his name is spoken he will live again.
And his name will be spoken for a thousand years.

Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams has made a formal complaint to the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) about certain aspects of his "interrogation" while he was detained in connection with the murder of IRA victim Jean McConville.
Mr Adams was released on Sunday night after four days of questioning by detectives about the 1972 murder of mother-of-10 Mrs McConville and other alleged links with the IRA.
The former West Belfast MP has vehemently rejected allegations made by former republican colleagues that he ordered her abduction and death, and after his release described his arrest as a "sham".
In an article for the Guardian, the 65-year-old said that before he was interviewed he was told that there was "new evidential material" and that he was being accused of conspiracy to murder Mrs McConville.
Mr Adams said he was told the police would be outlining a case that he was a member of the IRA, had a senior managerial role within the organisation in Belfast at the time of Mrs McConville's abduction and that he was therefore bound to know about her killing.
He wrote: "Over the following four days it became clear that the objective was to get to the point where they could charge me with IRA membership and thereby link me to the McConville case. The membership charge was clearly their principal goal."
Mr Adams said police assertions that he was an IRA member were based on his family background and anonymous newspaper articles from 1971 and 1972, "photographs of Martin McGuinness and me at republican funerals, and books about the period".
He claimed police suggested he had been recruited by police Special Branch and that he became an agent for MI5.
Mr Adams said: "I am innocent of any involvement in the abduction, killing or burial of Mrs McConville, or of IRA membership. I have never disassociated myself from the IRA and I never will, but I am not uncritical of IRA actions and particularly the terrible injustice inflicted on Mrs McConville and her family.
"I very much regret what happened to them and their mother and understand the antipathy they feel towards republicans."
He condemned his arrest as an assault on the peace process and said that during his interrogation no new evidential material was produced, or evidence of any kind.
Mr Adams said: "When I was being released I made a formal complaint about aspects of my interrogation. My arrest and the very serious attempt to charge me with IRA membership is damaging to the peace process and the political institutions."
He also criticised the project by Boston College in America, in which former IRA members Brendan Hughes and Dolours Price, both now dead, claimed on tape that Mr Adams had a role in ordering the murder of Mrs McConville.
He rejected these allegations, which he said were "now totally discredited", and said the those behind the project were opponents of the Sinn Féin leadership.
