Befits Chariot Consort Drawn Favourite Hera Juno Peacocks Splendid Tooke Travels Zeus Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
In Greek mythology, Hera, the goddess of marriage, childbirth, and family, was known for her jealous and vengeful nature, particularly towards any woman who captured the affections of her husband, Zeus. One of the most intriguing stories surrounding Hera involves her transformation into the goddess Juno in Roman mythology and her iconic representation as a deity traveling in a magnificent chariot drawn by peacocks. The image before you, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts this mythological scene with Hera/Juno gracefully seated in her chariot, her regal countenance exuding power and authority. The goddess's elegant attire, adorned with intricate gold and jeweled accents, further emphasizes her divine status. However, it is the magnificent peacocks pulling the chariot that truly captivate the viewer's attention. Their vibrant plumage, with its iridescent blue, green, and gold feathers, not only adds an element of beauty to the scene but also symbolizes the renewal and rebirth associated with Hera's role in childbirth. As the consort of Zeus, Hera's image in this print befits her status as a goddess of the highest order. The splendid chariot and her favorite peacocks are a testament to her divine power and wealth. This image not only serves as a stunning work of art but also provides a glimpse into the rich mythology and symbolism of ancient Greece and Rome.
