Tiresias, for siding with Zeus on the question of which gender experienced more pleasure during intercourse (Zeus said women).

Why did Hera blind Tiresias?

Hera blinded Tiresias because he accidentally revealed the secret of her husband Zeus's infidelity. In some versions of the myth, Tiresias was transformed into a woman for several years, and when he returned to his original form, he had the knowledge of both male and female perspectives on pleasure. Hera, feeling betrayed by his revelations, punished him by blinding him, although Zeus later compensated for this punishment by granting Tiresias the gift of prophecy.
