What is the birth story of the roman goddess Juno?
This Juno is placed by ancient sources in a warring context. Dumezil thinks the third, military, aspect of Juno is reflected in Juno Curitis and Moneta.[55] Palmer too sees in her a military aspect[56]
As for the etymology Cicero gives the verb monēre warn, hence the Warner. Palmer accepts Cicero's etymology as a possibility while adding mons mount, hill, verb e-mineo and noun monile referred to the Capitol, place of her cult. Also perhaps a cultic term or even, as in her temple were kept the Libri Lintei, monere would thence have the meaning of recording: Livius Andronicus identifies her as Mnemosyne.
Her dies natalis was on the kalendae of June. Her Temple on the summit of the Capitol was dedicted only in 348 BC by dictator L. Furius Camillus, presumably a son of the great Furius. Livy states he vowed the temple during a war against the Aurunci. Modern scholars agree that the origins of the cult and of the temple were much more ancient.[57] M. Guarducci considers her cult very ancient, identifying her with Mnemosyne as the Warnerbecause of her presence near the auguraculum, her oracular character, her announcement of perils: she considers her as an introduction into Rome of the Hera of Cuma dating to the VIII century. L. A. Mac Kay considers the goddess more ancient than her etymology on the testimony of Valerius Maximus who states she was the Juno of Veii. The sacred geese of the Capitol were most probably lodged in her temple: as they are recorded in the episode of the Gallic siege (ca. 396-390 B. C.) by Livy, the temple should have existed before Furius's dedication.[58] Basanoff considers her to go back to the regal period: she would be the Sabine Juno who arrived at Rome through Cures. At Cures she was the tutelary deity of the military chief: as such she is never to be found among Latins. This new quality is apparent in the location of her fanum, her name, her role: 1. her altar is located in the regia of Titus Tatius; 2. Moneta is, from monere, the Adviser: like Egeria with Numa (Tatius's son in law) she is associated to a Sabine king; 3. In Dionysius of Halicarnassus the altar-tables of the curiae are consecrated to Juno Curitis to justify the false etymology of Curitis from curiae: the tables would assure the presence of the tutelary numen of the king as an adviser within each curia, as the epithet itself implies.[59] It can be assumed thence that Juno Moneta intervenes under warlike circumstances as associated to the sacral power of the king.

Hera's equivalent in Roman mythology was Juno. Juno was the wife of Jupiter, ruler of the gods.
Hera is the goddess of marriage as well as queen of the gods and Zeus' wife
What is the difference between Roman Juno and Greek Hera?

Yes, Hera was known for being a very jealous goddess. Her husband, Zeus, often cheated on her, so she was jealous of these other women. Its also believed that Zeus and Olympias(mother of Alexandra The Great) were lovers....
In Greek mythology, Hera was born on an island to her parents, Rhea and Chronos. Like her siblings, Hera was swallowed by her father since he was afraid one of his children would overthrow him.
What were greek goddess Hera's flaws?
Here as you know was married to Zeus. But she was very jealous. And she had every right to be. Zeus would constantly cheat on her with thousands of mortal woman. One time Zeus was doing his thing with, yet another one of his mistresses. But Hera had caught wind of it this time. She went down their herself. Zeus Saw her coming and in attempt to save her life he turned he into a calf. Hera understood it was a trick, and cleverly asked for the calf as a gift. Zeus reluctantly said yes. Hera Kept the calf under heavy guard, she had a monster watch it, but the monster had eyes all over his body. So Zeus sent down a helper. The helper went down and started telling the most boring story ever. And He made the monster sleepy. Slowly, eye, by eye, the monster fell asleep. and died. He was bored to death. The calf was set free and it ran away.
Another thing about Hera was that she hated Hercules. As it shows in the movie by Disney, Hercules is attacked by Hates while in love with another character named meg. But the truth is, Hates like Hercules and Hera Hated him, and Meg isn't Even an actual goddess or even mortal in mythology. Strictly made up. OK so, now I'm saying all this confusing stuff. But listen.
In the movie:- hates = enemies- meg = real
- Hera = good
Real- hates = good
- meg = fake
- Hera = enemies
So, this is what happened. Zeus had an affair, and had Hercules, and kept him. Hera hated Hercules, because every time she looked at him she was reminded of Zeus being unfaithful. So She had to get rid of him. So she mad his mind wacko out, and he went in sane and killed his sons. Then he had to go pay of his crime by doing the 10 labors. But he had to do two more because Hera claimed that Hercules didn't do two good enough.
so i hoped this helped
How was Hera related to Hercules?
Zeus this a player and he cheats on Hera all the time - Hera is Zeus's wife and sister- Zeus cheated with her on a mortal woman and that mortal woman gives birth to Hercules. Hera is jealous of Hercules and try every thing in her power to kill Hercules bu she can not because is says that Hercules will became immortal one day and live forever. she does some bad thing such as making him mad and killing his family when he awakes he has to do 12 labors and they are suppose to kill him but each labor just makes him stronger.

Hera didn't have any other real husbands. Although most of the gods had husbands they usually had kids with other people.
Hera's personality traits were:
- vain
- jealous
- brave
- very successful
- defender of marriage
Hera also did many horrible things to the women zeus was with.
I think the Goddess Hera was born at Mount Olympus. they say she lived there at least. Her father was Kronos and her Mother Rhea. She has six siblings: Hades, Demeter, Zeus, Poseidon, Hestia & Chiron. She had six children: Enyo, Ares, Hebe, Eileithyia, Hephaestus & Eris. She was queen of the Gods, Goddess of Marriage and Birth, also she was every woman's rolemodel, like Oprah today.

What does Hera the Greek goddess mostly think about?
my guess is wondering about Zeus. she doesn't like it when he goes down and marries mortals.
Does Hera deserve being a god?
It depends on how you view her, and what myth. In most of the stories including Zeus' many affairs, she is the antagonist, vehemently pursuing his lovers. I've always felt sorry for her, though, so I'm reluctant to automatically dismiss her as the bad guy. In the Iliad, she is portrayed as being a champion of the Greeks' cause, and bent on the destruction of Troy. Also, it depends on how you view this. I've always rooted for the Trojans, even though they lose, and I see her support of the Greeks as jealousy and petty vengefulness against Paris. Answer 2: To understand the answer above you should follow the link below and find out about the word 'protagonist'.
Hera is a Goddess from Greek mythology. She was the wife and sister of Zeus and is known as the Queen of Gods. Her other siblings include Hades, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia, and Chiron. Her children are Eris, Ares, Hebe, Enyo, Eileithyia, and Hephaestus
Hercules. Also it wasnt Zeus, it was just Hera because she was jealous that Zeus had another child with a mortal
Protector and special counselor of the Roman state and queen of the gods, she was the Roman form of the Greek goddess, Hera.
Mostly how she was wise about marriage and family, she was actually quite intelligent as she often outwitted her husband Zeus.
If you want her weaknesses as well:
Zeus was also her weakness as he often cheated on her. Hephaestus i guess is also Hera's weakness. Hephaestus was an ugly child so Hera threw him out of Olympus, that's why he was a cripple. So as horrible as it sounds an ugly child would be her weakness as well. Hera being goddess of marriage and family would want a perfect family, apparently an ugly child doesn't make a perfect family.
