“Hera thinks of the maternal line: Gaia, Rhea and now Hera. The goddess who created the world, the goddess who nurtured it and the goddess who will protect it. But stronger than that line is its dark twin: Ouranos, Cronus and Zeus, who only care for what they can take.”
― Jennifer Saint, Hera

“And now it’s all in the open, [Hera] doesn’t care if she joins Prometheus on his lonely crag. Send the eagle to devour her liver, she thinks, let all her pain be on display. Let it be on the outside, instead of consuming her from within.”
― Jennifer Saint, Hera

“She wonders where they see her - in rebellious wives, she hopes, in the iron souls of powerful queens, in resilient girls who find the strength to keep going.
Even when they no longer worship at her altars, she won’t disappear. The mortals that determine their own lives, and she will carry on. Immortal and ageless, reinvented a thousand times, remade for a thousand narratives, throneless and wandering, but forever the ruler of her own destiny.”
― Jennifer Saint, Hera

“She has been alone for a very long time.”
― Jennifer Saint, Hera
