Hera
Birth:
Cronos had married one of the Titans
named Rheia, and he was determined not to let any of his children rebel
against him like he had done with his father, so after every baby was born
Cronos Promptly swallowed them. He swallowed 5 of these babies in the same
manner, until Rheia finally decided that she wanted some
children to play with so when the next baby was born she hid
the baby away on the island of Crete. Then she presented a rock wrapped
in swaddling clothes, and Cronos swallowed the rock. There the baby (Zeus)
grew up until Rheia told Zeus what had happened with his brothers and sisters.
Zeus and Rheia finally made Cronos throw up his brothers and sisters. Hestia,
Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Posiedon. Then Zeus made war on Cronos and won.
This is the story of Hera's birth.

Story
:
This is a
story that involves Jason and the Argonauts. Jason went in search of the
Golden Fleece, and he landed in the land of Colchian. The gods Hera and
Athena wondered whether Jason could persuade King Aietes to give up
the Golden Fleece. So Hera and Athena convinced Aphrodite to send cupid
to shoot Medeia, the kings daughter, so the Medeia would fall win love
with Jason. Jason later received the Golden Fleece (with the help of Medeia)
after taking care of the Brazen Bulls, and dragons teeth. This is just one
of the things that Hera got herself into.
