People who say that Hera was done wrong by Mythos really ignore that Hera’s entire realms of rule were the reasons she did it.
She was attempting to punish Zeus.
Like, if y’all paid attention, humans are insignificant to the Gods in multiple stories, gaining blessings or curses on the whims and desires of the gods is normal.
Hera was vengeful against her husband being unfaithful. Harming the humans and his illegitimate children, was a way she could punish him, because she couldn’t harm Zeus himself.
She’s vengeful. That’s part of who she is as a goddess.
If I recall correctly, she also is the one who blesses one’s marriage.
But to say she did nothing wrong is to ignore her mindset over humans. Which, like most gods, was that the actions were inconsequential.
There’s a reason why most of the atrocities are over minor slights, and why the impressive feats are rewarded.
But Hera definitely didn’t girlboss causing Herakles to kill his own family, because he happened to be the demigod son of Zeus.
I also have to call to question why it’s only misogyny when the goddesses do something wrong and vengeful, but no one talks about Poseidon and the Minotaur? Zeus and his long string of harm?
Zeus ordered for Prometheus to be punished for giving man the flames of life, which involved having the Titan have his entrails eaten daily and then regrown, for eternity.
But when a goddess causes harm it’s the misogyny in portrayal?

As much as I want to be a wholly joyous about the fact that Henry Kissinger is finally fucking dead, as he deserves... There's a lot of me that can't help being upset with. With the fact that he lived to 100 years old. He got better medical care, better housing, and a better, more stable life for those 100 years than billions on this planet ever going to see and he did it specifically through exploitation, state sanctioned murder, and lies. He lived to 100 years comfortably on a legacy of violence that rarely threatened his personal comfort. I want to be joyous that he's finally dead, because the world IS better with him dead, but the reality is he won a long time ago.

Our inquiry for the pronouns of the most humble man alive was refused, "I haven't done anything that makes me worth talking about in third person"
