The epithet "Pais" which means young or virginal, is one that signifies Hera prior to her marriage to Zeus. Since the gods were omnipresent, Hera was simultaneously a virgin, wife, mother and window.

Young women who intended to marry one day would pray to Hera Pais, then, once married they would pray to Hera Teleia. Later, when they were widowed, they would pray to Hera Chere.
