“All the gods are liable to become enraged: sometimes they are angry with their peers, sometimes with humans. In archaic representations, mēnis, anger that arises from outrage, is one of the generic ways in which a deity may act aggressively. However, when Hera is involved, this passion is particularly likely to take the form of cholos, a word which comes from bile and gall (cholē). She is not the only one to be subject to cholos, and her anger may take the form of mēnis, like that of Achilles, but the ire of the goddess is, more frequently than is the case for the other gods, identified by reference to items in the semantic field which is centred around bile and gall. The etymological explanation of later lexicographers connects cholos to the verb cheō which means ‘pour out’ or ‘let flow’. They also put emphasis on the momentary or impulsive character of this passion; in contrast, mēnis is rather conceived as a state of ‘continuing ire’. ... In cholos, the connotation is of something with physical manifestations: anger enters the veins and the heart, it ‘breaks out’, it flows forth. As we saw in the last chapter, these images are prominent in the story of the anger of Hera against Sybaris: in the dream which the officials have after the murder of the envoys, the goddess spews forth angry bile in the very middle of the agora, and blood flows in streams in her temple. The use of these physiological metaphors seems to intensify the anger which Hera is described as feeling. It is this kind of intensity of hatred which Zeus has in mind when in the Iliad he speaks of the savage rage of his wife against the Trojans. The image Zeus uses when he says that only eating the Trojans raw would satisfy her and appease her anger is an apt metaphor for the limitless fury of his partner. Nevertheless, despite the rhetorical flourish of this remark, the reference to the excess that marks the attitude of Hera is significant. Her anger goes far beyond the mēnis which a god, any other god, who felt slighted, held in contempt, or deprived of his honours would entertain. Sybaris is condemned to utter destruction, as was Troy. The special connection between Hera and this kind of anger, the bilious fury which spills out over the agora in Sybaris, is a continuing thread in all Greek stories about the interventions of the goddess, particularly when she intervenes in the amorous adventures of her husband or the birth of Zeus’s illegitimate children. Over the course of time, the theme of her anger will lose its specificity and come to be associated with even the most minor of Zeus’s love affairs, as narrated in the most obscure corners of the tradition. It is nevertheless striking to note that when in the first century Antiochus I of Commagene speaks of the wrath of heaven, which he says will protect from the impious the sanctuaries he founded and the rituals he instituted, he identified this with ‘the anger of Hera’ (Ἥρας τε χόλωι). One gets the impression that in the grandiose Greek rhetoric of the king of Commagene, an appeal to divine wrath was thought to be most appropriately focused by referring to Hera, who actually had nothing to do with the religious regulations in question. ‘The anger of Hera’ had become a formula because the motif of her wrath was so closely linked to the traditional image of the goddess."
