Well, in my opinion, she is good, but she can be evil. For example, what she did to Heracles was horrible, as well as what she did to the other children of Zeus' lovers. She was very jealous.

In my opinion, Hera did many things that could be considered evil. As stated above, the case with Heracles- she sent snakes to strangle him when he was a baby. In addition, she sent a gadfly to eternally chase Io around, and took the voice away from the nymph Echo, leaving her to repeat the words of others. See 'related links' for more examples.

I belive the most evil goddess is Hera. I belive this because, Hera does not care if somone dies and is sent or related to Hades. A lot of people think it's the goddess of the underworld, but hades forced her to stay with him.

Why is Hera the Greek goddess good?

Hera is not good, she's mean and always jealous of Zeus and his many mortal wives? this is both true and untrue. Homer portrays Hera this way because he was mistreated by a mean and shrewed wife. However, Hera is actually a very majestic and solom woman. The Greeks believed that she was the ONLY goddess that stayed with a woman all her life. Hera herself helps signify and represnt the fact the EVERYONE has both light and darkness inside them.
