Hi there guys! there goes another commission for

based on the greek myths, hope you like it, this time the vengeful and sometimes bitchy goddess Hera, but, C´mon, I think we all can understand her, Zeus was a cheater, so, be afraid of Zeus, but a lot more from Hera

Enough talk, lets wikiattack!

Hera (pronounced /ˈhɪərə/; Greek Ήρα, Hēra, equivalently Ήρη, Hērē, in Ionic and Homer) was the wife and one of three sisters of Zeus in the Olympian pantheon of classical Greek Mythology. Her chief function was as the goddess of women and marriage. In Roman mythology, Juno was the equivalent mythical character. The cow, and later, the peacock were sacred to her. Hera's mother was Rhea and her father, Cronus.

Portrayed as majestic and solemn, often enthroned, and crowned with the polos (a high cylindrical crown worn by several of the Great Goddesses), Hera may bear a pomegranate in her hand, emblem of fertile blood and death and a substitute for the narcotic capsule of the opium poppy. A scholar of Greek mythology Walter Burkert writes in Greek Religion, "Nevertheless, there are memories of an earlier aniconic representation, as a pillar in Argos and as a plank in Samos."

Hera was known for her jealous and vengeful nature, most notably against Zeus's paramours and offspring, but also against mortals who crossed her, such as Pelias. Paris offended her by choosing Aphrodite as the most beautiful goddess, earning Hera's hatred.

Awesome. I really like your colors. Although it might be just me but i think the proportions are a little off... particularly the elongated thighs.

This is an amazing portrayal of Hera. Personally, I have never judged her jealousy. I would have to say my favorite part is the feeling of passion I get from her and her hair, I think it is just beautiful. Excellent work!

Why does the "apple" in her hand look like a lemon?
