Hera

Associated Items and Beings
A god or goddess alone is inadequately defined since the people, beings, animals and things associate with a god or goddess say a lot about them. Through visual aids and texts, students can learn about the whole god or goddess by the items, people, beings, animals and things that accompany them or that are used in the exploits. Below are citations for selected vases, coins, sculpture and text that demonstrate and explain the people, beings, animals and things associated with Hera. Each representative citation has been selected for its image clarity and description.
