Hera sought revenge on Hercules due to her jealousy over his parentage, as he was the son of her husband Zeus and a mortal woman, Alcmene. To punish him, she sent two serpents to kill him in his crib, but Hercules famously strangled them. Later, she drove him into a fit of madness, causing him to kill his own wife and children. This act of madness led to Hercules undertaking the Twelve Labors as penance for his actions.
