She was looking her her husband, Zeus, who was cheating with some nymphs. When she came to the wood, Echo distracted her by talking too much. She distracted her just long enough for Zeus to get away. In a fury, she took away Echo's ability to make her own words. Poor Echo could only repeat what other people said.

This is the wrong answer, you have confused the Greek and Roman versions of the story.

The poem Echo and Narcissus was written by the Roman poet Ovid. So Juno appears in the Roman version, her husband (and also brother) would be Jupiter.

In the Greek version, Zeus was the cheating husband (and brother) of Hera.
