Hera and Zeus by Erté, 1989

Created by a Russian-French artist and designer Romain de Tirtoff (born Roman Petrovich Tyrtov), these bronze statues of the Greek Deities, Hera and Zeus, are a part of a limited series of 500 pieces. the Gods are depicted wearing elaborate, long deep-blue patterned robes with richly decorated garments underneath. Hera's statuette is accompanied by a bronze peacock.

Praise to Hera

O’ divine Mother, Queen Hera—protector of men and women; I offer my praise to you. 

Bright and fair-eyed Hera; Beloved Goddess of the skies,  She who blesses marriage and protects women in child labor,

I praise you. 

Queen Hera, guardian of the streets of Argos, of the blue clear waters of Samos, of the oldest temple of Olympia, I praise and honor you.

I don't worship Hera, but I'm reading "Hera" by Jennifer Saint and feel that I need to give her some praise lmao. It's awkward since I don't know her, but I hope it's ok 🦚

Hera, to Leto: I’d call you a cunt but you haven’t got the depth or the warmth.

Bit more detail about these gorgeous murals. They were painted by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in c.1827 and were originally in the Palais des Prinzen Karl and Ordenspalais in Berlin which Schinkel remodelled in the C19th. During the Nazi regime, the building was used for the Ministry of Propaganda. Sadly though, the building was destroyed in 1945 leaving us with only a few photographs. The murals depict the Greek Gods and are really gorgeous 😍 🏛😍

Hera! What’s ur opinion on the wind god? (Aeolus)

Aeolus, you say? I don't talk to them often, but they seem friendly enough... if not rather immature and energetic for me.

"AM NOT."

"SMALL."

I keep seeing posts saying that we shouldn't villanize Zeus or Hera (which I absolutely agree with), but why is that the only discussion people seem to have?

You'd probably convince more people if you shared why someone might work with them instead. Showing people a well-researched blog about the cultural significance of every one of Zeus' wrongdoings isn't going to change people's perception of him. People villanize Zeus and Hera because they've only been told stories of them where they are the villains. I'm begging you to share stories about the good they do, how they've improved your life, why you like working with them, etc.

One positive experience could do so much to change a person's perspective. Engage with posts that emphasize how great deities can be instead of trying to convince people that their wrongdoings aren't that wrong or that someone is invalid for seeing things a specific way. Everyone is so negative all the time. Fewer people would villainize deities if pagans shared the good instead of focusing on the bad.

I think I see one of Hera looking very sexy and promiscuous too:

If Hera sees that,she would literally execute Zeus or the artist cuz that's a major offense

lmfaooo you can draw Zeus in the most promiscuous poses possible but please leave my beautiful girl Hera out of this @ weird ad artist 😤
