Detailed explanation-1: -Hera, daughter of Cronus and Rhea (mother of Zeus), was associated with all aspects of the life of women. The goddess of women, marriage, and childbirth, she was known by the Romans as Juno .
Detailed explanation-2: -She was also the goddess of childbirth. In that role, she was called Juno Lucina, which means Juno Who Brings to Light. Many stories about Juno come from Greek mythology. After the Romans came into contact with the Greeks, they identified Juno with Hera, the wife of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods.
Detailed explanation-3: -From early times Hera was believed to be the sole lawful wife of Zeus; she soon superseded Dione, who shared with him his ancient oracle at Dodona in Epirus. In general, Hera was worshipped in two main capacities: (1) as consort of Zeus and queen of heaven and (2) as goddess of marriage and of the life of women.
