While in the majority of myths involving Hera show her spite, both to other Gods and to mortals who show her disrespect, there are a few cases where she shows her favor.

Myth of Pelias

Pausanias, Description of Greece 10. 30. 1 (trans. Jones) (Greek travelogue C2nd A.D.) :

"The parents of the maidens [the daughters of Pandareos] died because of the wrath of the gods, that they were reared as orphans by Aphrodite and received gifts from other goddesses: from Hera wisdom and beauty of form, from Artemis high stature, from Athena schooling in the works that befit women."

Jason and the Argonauts

Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1. 136 :

"The ship [of the Argonauts] came successively to Kharybdis, Skylla, and the wandering rocks called Planktai . . . But Hera sent for Thetis and the Nereides, who escorted the ship through these hazards."
