Zeus asked Echo to distract Hera because he was having an affair with another nymph and wanted to hide his infidelity from his jealous wife, Hera. Echo, a mountain nymph, was known for her ability to mimic voices and was thus seen as a useful ally in diverting Hera's attention. By engaging Hera in conversation, Echo aimed to give Zeus the time he needed to pursue his romantic interests without being caught. This deception ultimately led to further consequences for Echo in mythology.
