I think The Hera of Zeus: Intimate Enemy, Ultimate Spouse should be required reading for anyone who wants to say anything about Hera, her dynamic with Zeus, or her actions towards mortal women and heroes

#this book is so good #i’m reading the third and last part right now and it’s one of the best academic books i know #it actually analyses things! it’s so helpful #instead of saying the same 'Hera is a jealous woman / Hera hates Zeus / their mariage is abusive and unequal /#Hera hurts Zeus’ lovers without any reason / Hera would kill Zeus if she could' or any other common takes it goes so much deeper #and shows how that’s actually not at all the case #i rarely enjoy an academic book that much #helpol #classics #hera #the hera of zeus #zeus #hera deity #zeus and hera #zeus & hera #tagamemnon
