One Symbol that reflects Hera would be a Peacock, and another symbol would be the seasons of the year. Hera is the one in three daughters of Rhea and Cronus. Hera married her brother Zeus (The God of Sky and Thunder) out of shame. Hera and Zeus had 3 kids together, Ares: The God of War, Hephaestus: The God of Forgery and Fire, and Hebe: The Goddess of Youth. Hera\'s siblings include: Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter. One myth Hera was in, involved her and her \"son\" Heracles. Hera had hated Heracles because he had been born from a mortal woman. While Heracles was an infant, Hera sent snakes to go attack him in his crib. Heracles, known for his strength, strangled the two snakes instead.
