What are the similarities between Zeus and Prometheus?

Answer 1

In the Olympian pantheon Hera was the wife and older sister of Zeus. Her chief function was as goddess of women and marriage, her equivalent in Roman mythology being Juno. The cow and, later, the peacock were sacred to her. The cow symbolizes the goddess Hera's nurturing watchfulness over her subjects, while the peacock symbolizes her luxury, beauty, and immortality. Portrayed as majestic and solemn, often enthroned, and crowned with a high cylindrical crown worn by several of the Great Goddesses, Hera may bear in her hand the pomegranate, emblem of fertile blood and death, and a substitute for the narcotic capsule of the opium poppy. Called the Queen of Heaven, Hera was a powerful queen in her own right, long before her marriage to Zeus. The goddess Hera ruled over the heavens and the earth, responsible for every aspect of existence, including the seasons and the weather. Hera translates as the "Great Lady". Our word galaxy comes from the Greek word gala meaning "mother's milk", legend has it that the Milky Way was formed from the milk spurting from her breasts. Hera was well known for her jealous and vengeful nature, most notably against Zeus's paramours and offspring, but also against mortals who crossed her. For a long time a nymph named Echo had the job of distracting Hera from Zeus' affairs by leading her away and flattering her. When Hera discovered the deception, she cursed Echo to only repeat the words of others (hence our modern word "echo"). --- Apollo is one of the most important and many-sided of the Olympian deities. Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the sun; truth and prophecy; Archery; medicine and healing; music, poetry, and the arts; and more. He is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, Artemis. When Hera discovered that Leto was pregnant and that Zeus was the father, she banned Leto from giving birth on the mainland, or any island. Leto found the newly created floating island of Delos, which was neither mainland nor a real island, and she gave birth there. The island was surrounded by swans. Afterwards, Zeus secured Delos to the bottom of the ocean. This island later became sacred to Apollo. Apollo was the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle. He was seen as a god who could bring ill-health and deadly plague as well as one who had the ability to cure. Apollo was the patron defender of herds and flocks, the leader of the Muses and the patron god of music and poetry. Apollo's most common attributes were the bow and arrow, others included the kithara, the plectrum and the sword. The bay laurel and palm were also sacred to Apollo. Animals included wolves, dolphins, roe deer, swans, hawks, ravens, crows, snakes, mice and griffins.
