 **__ Hera Myth Summary __** This story takes place at the marriage of Thetis with a mortal called Peleus. Eris, the goddess of Discord, got mad because she wasn’t invited to this wedding. Eris came up with an evil plan to make a golden apple to the fairest of the gods and it all came down to Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite. The judge, Paris, chose Aphrodite because she offered him the loveliest woman in the world. Hera was so mad that she never forgave him, and not only annoyed him, but the Trojan War attributed to her influence. Hera raised a storm at sea in order to drive Hercules out of his course because she hated how he was Zeus’s favorite and she was so angry from the golden apple war. Zeus became so angry that he hung her in the clouds by a golden chain, and attached heavy anvils to her feet. Hera wanted to be released so bad and moaned all day and night so her son, Hephaestus, tried to release his mother.
