Hera's wrath was known far and wide for heros sired by her husband. She drove Hercules mad and in his insanity, he murdered his wife and children. Yeah, not so fun. She was not happy that Zeus was so interested in mortal women.

As the current supreme goddess she holds equal power to Zeus (more if you consider her connection with the earlier mother goddess). She also was well-known for her swift harsh but just punishments of those who wronged her.

She didn't fear anything. Though later stories detail her fear of Zeus, Hera held more control over Zeus as seen by the many times a mother goddess overthrew her husband with a cunning and an upstart offspring. Zeus fears Hera.

Do you mean why the Greeks were afraid of Hera? Hera did not fear the Greeks. The Greeks feared Hera due to her power over fertility and motherhood. All ancient society revolved around reproduction and also to the many tales of her swift vengeance which all were caused by an infraction. She was relatively level-headed but her punishments are extreme.

Heracles was born of Alcmene (mother) and Zeus (father). Zeus was Hera's husband and as such she was jealous of his lover and their offspring. She was the enemy of Heracles because she tried to, firstly, stop his birth, secondly, kill him in his cot when he was a baby and thirdly, hinder him on his quests and during his twelve labours.
