Hera (Ultimate Earth)

"*Hera, give me strength!*"

— Wonder Woman

**Hera** is the queen of the Olympian Gods. Hera in a lot of ways represented the ideal woman as Queen of the Gods of Olympus. However, despite her devotion to her marriage, her refined nature and power, she is perhaps most famous for her temper and her vendettas against her husband's illegitimate lovers and their offspring.

Her husband's infidelities have led her to take revenge on many of his concubines, striking at humanity from Mount Olympus. Though no longer worshipped by humanity at large, the Amazons still worshipped her. Diana of Themyscira often invoked her name during battle.
