Hellenic: Hecate

Hecate or Hekate is the archaic Greek goddess of the netherworld, crossroads, boundaries, ghosts, and witchcraft. She is debatably considered to be a triple moon goddess due to her three forms and heads (Mother, Maiden, and Crone.). She safeguards and guides the dead to the underworld peacefully and carries the only skeleton key in the Greek Pantheon.

Correspondences:

Abode: The Underworld. Animals: Canines, Owls, Serpents, and Ferrets. Flora: Mugwort, Yarrow, & Wormwood Offerings: Frankincense & Myrrh. Planet: The Moon. Symbols: Paired Torches, Keys, & Daggers.

Go off about Hera go off about Hera!!!

Only if you wanna tho

Hera! Thank you for indulging my brainrot!!

So, Hera, right? I think she's usually portrayed as the youngest daughter of Rhea and Kronos. As we've seen this a ton of other Greek myths (Zeus, Kronos), being the youngest child is quite a roleTM.

Now, people often tend to gloss over Demeter, Hestia, and Hera during the titanmachy, but I would like to raise you an opinion. Hera is known to be incredibly powerful and is often known as the only person Zeus fears. My personal headcanon is that she was a powerful and fearsome warrior during the titanmachy.

And then you get to how she became Queen. First of all, I want to make something really clear. Hera is a victim. Zeus r*ped her, then proceeded to lie and cheat for the rest of their marriage, but let's back up for a second.

So, Hera has this really cute affinity for birds that I think a lot of people tend to gloss over. Like?? Zeus was able to gain access to her bedchamber by pretending to be an injured bird because he knew Hera would help one. This is also really ironic, since birds are often associated with freedom and Hera is a really constricted woman.

Also, one of Hera's symbols is the peacock, which is really interesting. Male peacocks are the ones who have all the pretty feathers and colors to impress the females. If that doesn't really capture her personality, I don't know what does.

Now, Hera married her r*pist. Obviously, there's the social pressures because Ancient Greece kind of sucked, but, also, this makes her Queen of the Gods. This is a woman who gave up freedom, love, and dignity for power (put a pin in this).

Also, before Hera, Metis was the Queen of the Gods. Metis, Goddess of the Wisdom. That's going to be a hard act to follow. Now, Hera is the Goddess of Marriage, Childbirth, Women, and Queen of the Gods. But, women weren't invented yet (Pandora came well into the Olympian rule), and Hera wasn't married yet, which means, before she was married to Zeus, she really didn't have any deific domain. And she's expected to replace the Goddess of Logic. That's going to be really stressful. Plus, unlike Metis, she never had to prove herself worthy of the position. Metis started the war against the Titans by freeing them, Hera just got married. She must have so much imposter syndrome.

I crackship Hera and Metis don't judge me.

Hera is the Goddess of Women, and she's also the forger of heroes. Yes, she tortures Zeus' lovers (or, more accurately, victims) and bastards, but those end up being most of Greek Mythology's greatest heroes and Gods (Heracles, Artemis and Apollo, etc.). You cannot tell me she didn't know what she was doing.

Hera didn't have a childhood. Her father ate her when she was born. When she was released from his stomach, she was thrust into a war. Then she became Queen of the Gods. This is a woman who has never known comfort, never known love, never known freedom. But she does understand power and anger. And those beliefs and those feelings and that knowledge is exactly what she projects onto the women and children she punishes. Yes, her anger is misdirected, but she can't hurt Zeus, he's the King of the Gods, and, besides, from her perspective, perhaps she's doing them a favour. Hera is married to Zeus, of all people. Her father is Kronos. She knows precisely what happens when people who don't deserve power are given it. She knows that Zeus' children will be heroes, and she makes sure that they are up to the task.

Yes, this analysis is VERY biased, but this is (one of) my personal takes on Hera's psychology.
