Hera and Iris

“The statue of Hera is seated on a throne; it is huge, made of gold and ivory, and is a work of Polycleitus. She is wearing a crown with Graces and Seasons worked upon it, and in one hand she carries a pomegranate and in the other a sceptre. About the pomegranate I must say nothing, for its story is somewhat of a holy mystery. The presence of a cuckoo seated on the sceptre they explain by the story that when Zeus was in love with Hera in her maidenhood he changed himself into this bird, and she caught it to be her pet. This tale and similar legends about the gods I relate without believing them, but I relate them nevertheless.”

Pausanias, Description of Greece 2. 17. 4

“So she (Iris) spake and seated her beside the golden throne, even as a hunting hound of Artemis which, when it hath ceased from the swift chase, sitteth by her feet, and its ears are erect, ever ready to receive the call of the goddess. Like thereto the daughter of Thaumas sat beside her throne. And she never forgetteth her seat, not even when sleep lays upon her his forgetful wing, but here by the edge of the great throne with head a little bent aslant she sleeps. Never does she unloose her girdle or her swift hunting-boots lest her mistress give her some sudden command.”

Callimachus, Hymn 4 to Delos 216 ff

Mother and Son

#'Like him' playing on repeat in my head #hephaestus #hera #Hera goddess #hephaistos #Greek Mythology #Greek Mythology art #Fighting the 'Hera threw him off Olympus cause he was UGLY' narrative by giving them the same face.#I desperately need more stories around these two. It's an interesting Mother and Son dynamic #especially if you prefer the version where Hera made him alone.#It sort of reminds me kind of Frankenstein #A story of Hera going through postpartum depression/psychosis with Hephaestus and dealing with that would be interesting.#greek myth art

This is the best artistic rendition of Mother Hera I've ever come across. She's so beautiful I can barely move my eyes. So gentle and loving. Btw this is not my creation. The creator has their name in the corner and they're in devianart so all credits to them and a load of gratitude cuz this is very very accurate to how I see my Mother in my mind. I found this pic on Pinterest so yep. BUT MOTHER DO I LOVE YOU?!!!!! I could cry just by looking at this.
