disliked her is an understatement Hera was jealous of him because he was the son of her husband Zeus and another woman. she sent two serpents to kill him when he was a baby, but he killed them. then she sent a fit of madness upon him which caused him to kill his wife and three children. he was about to kill himself when he was told by an oracle that he should give himself into the service of his cousin Eurystheus king of Mycenae. Hera urged him to challenge him with 12 tasks called the "2 labors of hercules". she hoped he would be killed pursuing them. during the ninth labor Hercules was charged with taking the Amazon queen Hippotyle belt to give it to Eurystheus's daughter. the queen willing gave Hercules her belt but sadly for him Hera didn't like the fact that it would be so easy. she convinced Hippotyles forces that Hercules was trying to abduct the queen. Hercules believing that Hippotyle was responsible for the following attack killed her. after the 12 tasks when he went to sea to continue his adventures Hera sent huge storms to try to wreck the boat. later he did attempt to smooth things with Hera and sacrificed goats to her. unfortunately her anger only cooled when he died. ironically enough he then married Hera's daughter Hebe at Olyumpus. basikally he disliked her because she was always trying to kill him.

Hera made Hercules lose his mind, so he went crazy and killed his wife and kids. He then awakened from the trance, and, horrified at what he'd done, prayed to the god Apollo for help. Apollo told him as a punishment for murder, he would serve king Eurystheus for twelve years. During those twelve years he performed twelve labors, the second of which was slaying the Lerneaen Hydra. Hera saw he was winning the fight with the hydra, and to punish him even further, sent a large crab to aid the hydra. Hercules smashed the crab with his foot.

Hera was angry at Hercules because he was Zues' child, that he had had with a mortal, so hera was jealous.

Hercules was the result of one of Zeus' many illicit affairs.

Hera, being a terribly jealous woman, hated Hercules for this

and caused trouble for him in any way she could.

The were reconciled only after Heracles' death,

when he had become a god himself.

She hated Hercules because he was the love child of her husband Zesus and instead of taking her rage out on Zeus, she took it out on him by making him go mad and kill his wife and kids and by picking the hardest labors (12) for him to preform.

Because he had sheltered and cared for Dionysus, who was the son of Zeus (Hera's husband) by a different woman.
