What impact does Hera the Greek goddess on us?

well personally i think none b/c she doesnt exist, but the Greeks think she's the goddess of marraigeExpanded answerHera was revered for her cunning and forward thinking. She was devious and clever and loved to help those whom Zeus had cursed. As such she was sometimes known as the goddess of compassion. She would counsel Zeus on how best to conduct his affairs, but would craftily guide him to deeds that served her own ends. Today, Hera could be seen as the personification of guille and strength of character in women.She was also known as the goddess of fertility, though it is common among many ancient theologies for a female deity to represent fertility.Since the Greek theology has little bearing on modern day life, it should be safe to say that Hera no longer has much of an impact on anything anymore... but perhaps that's exactly what she would want us to think!


Where and when was Apollo born?

We don't know when he was born. If he is there, he was always there. Apollo is said to be born on the 7th day of the Greek month Thargelion. (which is estimated to be around May 25th) Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto. But Hera, Zeus's wife was angry at Zeus's philandering. Leto could not find a safe place to give birth to her children for even the land feared Hera's wrath. But finally, she found the floating island of Delos and that's where Apollo and his sister Artemis was born. The twins, Artemis and Apollo were born on the floating island of Delos, in the Aegan Sea. There was a prohibition given to their mother by the goddess Hera that she not give birth on either land or sea. Since Delos was a floating island it was not against Hera's prohibition. Also, The island (Delos) was surrounded by swans. Afterwards, Zeus secured Delos to the bottom of the ocean. This island later became sacred to Apollo. It is also stated that Hera kidnapped Ilithyia, the goddess of childbirth, to prevent Leto from going into labor. The other gods tricked Hera into letting her go by offering her a necklace, nine yards (8 m) long, of amber. Mythographers agree that Artemis was born first and then assisted with the birth of Apollo, or that Artemis was born one day before Apollo, on the island of Ortygia and that she helped Leto cross the sea to Delos the next day to give birth to Apollo. Apollo was born on the seventh day (ἡβδομαγενης) of the month Thargelion -according to Delian tradition-or of the month Bysios-according to Delphian tradition. The seventh and twentieth, the days of the new and full moon, were ever afterwards held sacred to him.

When was Hera born?

Hera was the wife and sister of Zeus. Hera is a mighty goddess who is sadly known most for her unmitigated jealousy. She is vicious and spiteful, and it is usually Zeus's infidelity that incites her to rage. She was best described by Homer in his epic the Iliad. She was the eldest daughter to the Titan Cronus and thus was responsible in part for usurping the Titans' power and control over the universe. Homer portrayed her fairly unkindly as good for nothing but torturing Zeus's sexual consorts, but Hera is recognized as having upheld all the old rights and rules of ancient Greek culture. She is well known for punishing Hercules by driving him mad. In his madness, he slew his entire family, and after waking from her spell, he sought to kill himself in repentance for his actions. She turned the priest Tiresias into a woman and made him a priestess to her "cult" after he struck two mating snakes with his staff. Then Zeus asked Tiresias to answer a question concerning who was more pleasured during sex, men or women, as he had lived as both, and Tiresias sided with Zeus when he said "women," and Hera blinded him for answering to Zeus over her. Examples of Hera's malice are very well known. She was a difficult goddess to deal with.
