Zeus: Be careful, only a fool would trust Hera.
Poseidon: No, only a fool would anger her.
~ Zeus and Poseidon on Hera's nature.

Hera is the main antagonist of the 2020 Netflix animated series Blood of Zeus.

She was one of the Gods of Olympus who married her brother, the King of Olympus Zeus, after they successfully defeated the Giants. However, the marriage fell apart when Zeus sired numerous illegitimate children from numerous affairs. Eventually, Hera decided to take vengeance on her husband for his adultery by plotting to use the imprisoned Giants to usurp her husband's throne. She is based off of the goddess of the same name from Greek mythology.

She is voiced by Claudia Christian, who has also voiced Helga Katrina Sinclair in Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Potema Septim in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and the Fairy Godmother in the Shrek 2 video game.

History[]

During the Gigantomachy, Zeus saved Hera, and the two fell in love. Eventually, they were married and ruled Mount Olympus together. After defeating Typhon, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades drew slots to determine who rules the Heavens, the seas, and the Underworld respectively, with the ruler of the heavens receiving the Eleusinian Stone and becoming the King of the Gods. Before the drawing, Hera approached Poseidon and explain her intent to manipulate it so that Zeus would be king, seeing him as the best suited for the role. Poseidon agreed and the plan went off successfully, with Zeus ruling the heavens, Poseidon ruling the seas, and Hades ruling the Underworld.

Hera and Zeus went on to have two sons, Ares and Hephaestus. Over time, however, Zeus proved to be extremely unfaithful and had numerous affairs, resulting in several bastard children with both goddesses and humans. Dealing with the numerous affairs slowly drove Hera mad.

Personality[]

Hera is known to be a headstrong and cunning Olympian. Being the only one of her sisters to wield a blade, she is confident, stubborn, and brave. At the beginning of her marriage, Hera presents a more compassionate and loving side of herself. Showing care for Zeus's title despite his infidelity.

However, her frustration towards Zeus reached a breaking point over the years. Due to her belief that marriage should be faithful, Hera has great loathing for the mistresses and the illegitimate children of Zeus since they are all concrete evidence of her husband's infidelities. Tired of Zeus taking her for granted, Hera strikes out alone. She began acting more deceptively and cunningly, convincing the other gods to side with her while confronting Zeus about his intervention with the humans, despite having tampered with fate.

Hera is also rather jealous and petty about Zeus's infidelity. This is evident in her vengeful spirit against one of Zeus's sons, Heron, and her characterization of Hermes as Zeus' bastard. Hera also often touched her hair, fixed it when upset, and assumed a more fixed demeanor. Hera contradicts her position as the goddess of women in how she blames and punishes Zeus's lovers and children for Zeus's infidelity, when some (but not all) of Zeus's lovers did not know Zeus was wooing them. As such, her umbrage, while justified against Zeus, is cruel and spiteful towards the women Zeus bedded and the children he sired.

Her jelousy is the reason she always seeing herself only perfect person and despite those weaker and ugly mortal lower than her, because she has no problem in using seraphim into killing electra, even though she know he is nothing to do with zeus and hera affairs since he is electra and periander's son, which she pay the price by her hand cut off by seraphim's betrayal. Besides, she uses forces to make everyone kneel before her and unreasonable when she has no problem in killing innocent mortal, forcing giants follow her orders in exchange for seas, leading Poseidon, the only one agree with her most, decided to join Zeus side, knowing that Hera gone mad.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Crow Control: Hera has the ability to manipulate the behaviour of crows, making them follow her commands obediently, even at the risk of their own lives. She could summon entire flocks of crows to provide herself cover. Additionally, she was able to commune with and understand crows, as they often spied for Hera and told her information.
  • Immortality: The Gods of Olympus, including Hera, did not age with time and remained in their physical prime for what seemed to be eternity.
  • Shapeshifting: Hera was able to freely manipulate her own physical form. She could alter several aspects of herself, including her size and voice. As such Hera could impersonate other individuals, best exemplified when she took on the physical forms of the Amazon Alexia and Hermes. By shapeshifting into Hermes, Hera was even able to deceive her own husband Zeus and catch him off guard. She could also shift into the form of a crow, which Hera often did to spy on people. Hera can even become a flock of crows.
  • Supernatural Vision: Hera, as a God of Olympus, possessed eyesight far superior than that of any ordinary human's. She could see objects or people on the surface of Greece from atop Mount Olympus, despite the mountain resting high above the clouds.
  • Telekinesis: Hera had the power to move and manipulate objects with her mind. She could lift incredibly heavy objects such as large boulders and the corpses of the Giants and could emit great amounts of raw force that could stun divine opponents and shatter earth. She could even emit enough binding force to completely stop the likes of Seraphim from moving. When using telekinesis, Hera produced a light-purple glowing aura around her hands and whatever object she was grasping.
    • Flight: Presumably due to her telekinetic capabilities, Hera was able to float and travel through the air even with a noticeable lack of wings.
