well personally i think none b/c she doesnt exist, but the Greeks think she's the goddess of marraige

Expanded answerHera was revered for her cunning and forward thinking. She was devious and clever and loved to help those whom Zeus had cursed. As such she was sometimes known as the goddess of compassion. She would counsel Zeus on how best to conduct his affairs, but would craftily guide him to deeds that served her own ends.

Today, Hera could be seen as the personification of guille and strength of character in women.

She was also known as the goddess of fertility, though it is common among many ancient theologies for a female deity to represent fertility.

Since the Greek theology has little bearing on modern day life, it should be safe to say that Hera no longer has much of an impact on anything anymore... but perhaps that's exactly what she would want us to think!

Did Artemis ever had any children?

Once, Artemis was tricked into having a child. Artemis had offended Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. She told Athena and Hera that they were not true virgin goddess. After all, Athena had children, and Hera was the goddess of marriage. She then told Aphrodite that love was worthless, since you would most likely have a broken heart in the end. She showed the example of Orpheus and Eurydice. They still had broken hearts. Of course, these goddess did not take offense easily. They plotted to get revenge. With the help of Dionysus, they made every young man look like a golden stag. But really, they were the men of Athens. Soon she was in childbirth, which was very painful. Hera (who was also the goddess of childbirth), made sure that the birth would not come easily for Artemis. People are not sure who her daughter was. Some say it is Haley's comet. Others say that she is the shadows of night. Most most people believe that it was moon that was her daughter, always shining down upon us.

Who is the goddess of life?

Isis, Egyptian Goddess of Magic and Giver of Life Isis, the Egyptian goddess of rebirth remains one of the most familiar images of empowered and utter femininity. The goddess Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky. Isis was born on the first day between the first years of creation, and was adored by her human followers. Unlike the other Egyptian goddesses, the goddess Isis spent time among her people, teaching women how to grind corn and make bread, spin flax and weave cloth, and how to tame men enough to live with them (an art form on which many of us would welcome a refresher course!) Actually, your mother - she's your true goddess of life. ---- In Hindu astrology, Ayush means life span or energy of liveliness. The Sanskrit word is cognate with the Egyptian name Isis.
