Juno was daughter of Saturn and Rhea. Her
brother Jupiter falling in love with her, raised
storm, and taking the shape of q cuckoo fed to

he dethrOned his father, Juno became his queen
and shared in all his hOnOrs. Her own character
was irreproachable but, as we have already seen,
she could i'll brook his infdeties and LatOna, |
Alcmena, Semee, and others, paid dear for their
intimacy with the monarch of the goods.
