Did Hera bring good evil or both to humans?

Hera, like all other Greek deities, was a force of nature with both positive and negative aspects.

Thus, as the patron goddess of air, her favor was clear skies and rain storms and cool breezes, while her disfavor was shown by storms. She, as a goddess Queen herself, was the high goddess of mortal kings and their dynasties and kingdoms. If a man had sons, it was seen as her favor - if he had no children at all, her hand was turned against him.

As a goddess of women she protected women of marriageable age (when they passed from the protection of Artemis, Hera was then their goddess). Hera was the goddess of marriage, a good stable marriage was seen as her favor, and if either was unfaithful it was fully believed that Hera would punish that person - as Hera had punished the consorts of Zeus.

Birth too was a aspect of Hera's domain, a quick birth in which the mother and baby lived was seen as her protection while any pregnancy that ended with death was seen as her disfavor. The Greek gods and goddesses were seen as very personal deities of the individual; they had mysterious ways and moods but were very like mortals in that no one is all good or all bad, we can be both.

It is not that the cup she poured forth gave this gift of youth, but her own power. It was unheard of to insult Hebe, the daughter of Hera and Zeus, Queen and King of Olympus, and wife of Hercules, mother of his sons Alexiares and Anicetus.

Is Hera dangreous?

Hera was as dangerous as any deity in the Greco-Roman pantheon. She was highly vindictive of Zeus' adultery, as seen in stories like that of Heracles or Io. Heracles was plagued with troubles of Hera's doing because he was the son of Zeus and Alcumena. Io was raped by Zeus, and in retribution, Hera turned Io into a cow and made her go mad. Io was eventually saved, but first had to suffer Hera's anger.

On the other hand, Hera was a patron of women, especially wives and mothers, and would be invoked for protection of pregnant women, although other deities existed who were patrons of childbirth specifically. These two seemingly bipolar roles probably stem from Greek ideas of women as chattel without rights (though not without responsibilities).
Hera, as with all gods and goddesses, is mythical. For those that believe she was probably very dangerous and also very helpful.

Hermes is the Olympian god of boundaries and of the travellers who cross them, of shepherds and cowherds, of thieves and road travellers, of orators and wit, of literature and poets, of athletics, of weights and measures, of invention, of general commerce, and of the cunning of thieves and liars. He protects and takes care of all the travellers and thieves that pray to him or cross his path. He is the messenger of the gods and does his job very well. He is athletic and is always looking out for runners, or any athletes with injuries who need his help. Hermes, as an inventor of fire is a parallel of the Titan, Prometheus. Hermes was believed to have invented many types of racing and the sport of wrestling, and therefore was a patron of athletes. As a crosser of boundaries, Hermes was a psychopomp, meaning he brought newly-dead souls to the Underworld and Hades.
