Hera's children were Ares (the god of war), Hephaestus (the god of fire and the divine smith), and Hebe (the goddess of youth and the cupbearer to the gods on Mount Olympus).
Hera is also known as Queen of the Gods because of her matriarchal role in Greek mythology. Together, Zeus and Hera had three children: Ares, Hebe, and Hephaestus.
Hera had four children, including two sons (Ares and Hephaestus) and two daughters (Hebe and Eileithyia). The Theogony lists them in the order of Hebe, Ares, Eileithyia, and Hephaestus.
The Birth of Hera
She married Zeus and became Queen of the Gods. Together, they had three children: Ares, Hebe (goddess of youth), and Eileithyia (goddess of childbirth).
Eileithyia is said to be Hera's favorite child. Though she's not as popular as her brothers Ares and Hephaestus, there were temples built in her honor.
Hera claimed that she had conceived Hephaestus without any act of love, to show that she was as independent of Zeus as he had been of her when he gave birth to Athena.
From their union, two great sons were created: Ares and Hephaestus. Hera loved her children very much and at first, their existence helped ease Hera's pain as she discovered Zeus had continued his philandering ways.
Because Hera is the goddess of marriage, she must maintain her marriage with Zeus. Thus, she has no demigod children.
Hera was the Goddess of women, marriage, family and childbirth and was one of the Olympian Gods and Goddesses. She was the oldest daughter of Cronus (Kronos) and Rhea, but raised by the Titans Ocean and Tethys.
Zeus finally became enamored of the goddess who was to become his permanent wife — Hera. After courting her unsuccessfully he changed himself into a disheveled cuckoo. When Hera took pity on the bird and held it to her breast, Zeus resumed his true form and ravished her.
Hestia. Hestia is Zeus sister. She is a virgin goddess. She does not have a distinct personality.
Hera was the youngest daughter of Cronus and Rhea. Her father Cronus swallowed her whole, along with all of her siblings (except Zeus), to absorb their power, and to try and stop them from overthrowing him.
Perhaps partly because of the strange circumstances of her birth, Athena is often cited as Zeus's favourite child. He also greatly admired her strength of character and fighting spirit. Some believe Athena was Zeus's first born child, which might, somewhat unfairly, suggest why he chose her as his favourite.
1. Apollo: Zeus' Best-Known Son. Of all the sons Zeus fathered, Apollo is perhaps the best known. Apollo was conceived during an illicit affair between Zeus and Leto (Zeus was married to Hera at the time), along with a twin sister named Artemis.
KAIROS (Caerus) The god of opportunity was the youngest divine son of Zeus.
Despite her small grudge against heroes, Hera favored the hero/legacy Jason the argonaut, and the two demigods, her stepson Jason Grace and her grandson, Leo Valdez. However, she lost her favor with argonaut Jason after what he did to Medea. Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase are her least favorite.
In some versions of his birth, Hephaestus was born lame; Hera was less than pleased and threw him off Mount Olympus [see Olympus Mons on map].
A while later, he rapes her, she agrees to marry him and they create a family on Mount Olympus, the Deities' new home. Unfortunately, Zeus constantly cheats on Hera and he has done it over a hundred times, but in the end Hera always forgives him.
The Relationship Between Zeus and Hera
The goddess Hera was initially uninterested in Zeus, so he turned himself into a cuckoo bird and seduced her. After falling in love, the godly couple had two key children. These were: Ares, the god of war.
Queen of Mount Olympus
Hera was courted by her brother Zeus who was the leader of the gods on Mount Olympus. At first she was not interested, but Zeus tricked her into marrying him by disguising himself as a wounded cuckoo bird.
Who were Hades and Persephone's children? Persephone and Hades had two children; one daughter, Melinoë,and one son, Zagreus. Melinoë became the goddess of nightmares and madness. Zagreus was a minor Greek god.
Hera's nightmare of Kronos. Hera is Kronos's daughter-in-law and once, his fake lover. During the war and after Rhea had entered hibernation, Zeus and Hera came up with a plan to be able to defeat him. This plan involved Hera seducing Kronos, gaining his trust, and slowly poisoning him over time.
Family Relations. In Greek mythology, Hera was the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, and mother of Ares (god of war), Hebe (goddess of youth), and Eileithyia (goddess of childbirth), all with Zeus. Hera also gave birth alone to Hephaistos (god of metallurgy) in retaliation for Zeus' similarly single-handed birth of Athena.
Athena (Minerva), the goddess of war and wisdom, had a strange birth. Her father Zeus (Jupiter) had swallowed his pregnant consort Metis (“wisdom”), because he was afraid she would bear a son who would overthrow him.
