Hera is the queen of the gods in Greek Mythology, as the wife of Zeus, she's most known for her implacable anger toward the many women Zeus fell in love with.

Hera and Argus

Due to her husband endless infidelities, Hera decided to ask Argus, the many-eyes giant, to watch one of Zeus' lovers, Io.

But, under the order of Zeus, Hermes, disguised as a shepherd, managed to kill Argus, releasing Io from the giant watch.

To commemorate her faithful watchman, Hera preserved the giant eyes in a peacock's tail.

Hera's revolt

Hera and other Olympian organized a revolt against the current king of the gods, Zeus. As he was sleeping, they bound him to his couch, tying 100 knots to hold him, keeping his thunderbolts far out of reach.

While they were debating who would best succeed Zeus as ruler of the gods, the nymph Thetis brought one of the Hecatoncheires, Briareus. Thanks to his one hundred arms, Briareus untied the 100 knots and released the god of thunder. 

To punish Hera for leading the rebellion, Zeus hung her with golden chains. And only freed her after Hera, and the other Olympian, vowed to never again rebel against him.
