My character is Hera.
She was the daughter of Cronus and Rhea.
A wife and a sister of Zeus.
She is the goddess of women and marriage
And she was also the goddess of the sky and starry heavens.
The cow and the peacock is very sacred to her.
She is portrayed as majestic and solemn, often enthroned, and crowned with the polos.
Hera was known for her jealous and vengeful nature, most against Zeus's lovers and offspring,
but also against mortals who crossed her, such as Pelias.
And she even sent two serpents in Heracles's crib to kill him.
Heracles throttled a single snake in each hand and was found
by his nurse playing with their limp bodies as if they were child's toy.
