As the guardian of marriage and the spouse of the King of Gods and Men, Hera didn't have much choice but to be a faithful wife. Even though she was beautiful, not many men - and not one god - dared to lay hands on her. Endymion tried once, but Zeus condemned him to eternal sleep. Ixion fared even worse: Zeus fooled him into making love with a cloud fashioned in Hera's image, and then ordered Hermes to bind him to a perpetually turning wheel of fire.

Zeus tricked Hera into marriage. Knowing full well that the goddess loved animals, he transformed himself into a distressed cuckoo and reverted to his original form only when Hera took the poor creature to her breast to warm it. Ashamed for being taken advantage of, Hera agreed to a marriage.

However, it didn't turn out to be a happy one. Zeus was brutish and cruel to everybody. Incapable of bearing this, Hera plotted a revenge plan with Poseidon, Athena and possibly few other gods. She drugged Zeus, and they bound him on his bed, while stealing his thunderbolt. Thetis, however, summoned Briareus and he managed to quickly untie Zeus, who was, subsequently, merciless to the main schemer: he hung Hera from the sky with golden chains.

To grant herself a release, Hera swore to never rebel again against her husband. So, she directed her anger toward Zeus's lovers and their offspring, becoming a jealous and vindictive wife.
