Was Hera treated fairly or unfairly by history? why or why not?

Answer 1

History treats her fairly, because the perspective recorded about her coincides with how the people of her time thought about her for the most part.

Answer 2

Well, if you count tv series are a record of mythology then we are definitely lost. Hera was not just a mean godess, angry with her cheating husband.
Hera, the Greek goddess called the Queen of Heaven, long before her marriage to Zeus. Hera ruled over the heavens and the earth, responsible for every aspect of existence, including the seasons and the weather.

Honoring her great capacity to nurture the world, her very name translates as the "Great Lady". Our word galaxy comes from the Greek word gala meaning "mother's milk" . . .
It is partly on account of Hera's great beauty, and particularly her beautiful, large eyes, that she is linked to her sacred animal, the cow, and also the peacock with its iridescent feathers having "eyes". In ancient times Hera was revered as being the only one the Greek goddesses who accompanied a woman through every step of her life.The goddess Hera blessed and protected a woman's marriage, bringing her fertility, protecting her children, and helping her find financial security. Hera was, in short, a complete woman, overseeing both private and public affairs.
But it was Hera's uncommon beauty that attracted the attention of her future husband, the lusty Zeus, who tricked Hera into taking him to her breast.
Unfortunately, the goddess Hera's life was not to remain so enviable. Zeus reverted to his earlier "playboy" lifestyle, married or not, compulsively seducing or raping whichever of the Greek goddesses or mortal women caught his wandering eye.
In Greek mythology Hera, although wounded, remained faithful and steadfast in her loyalty to Zeus.
At other times, in reaction to his continuing infidelities, the goddess Hera simply withdrew from Zeus and the other Olympian gods and goddesses and wandered around the earth, often in darkness, always eventually ending up back at the home where she'd spend her happy youth. In spite of how he had mistreated her, Zeus did love Hera and, more than that, felt as if part of himself was missing when she was not there for him.
It is unfortunate that it is not the goddess Hera's nurturing or her steadfastness in the face of adversity that are remembered today, but mostly the stories of her jealousy and vindictiveness.
More than any of the other Greek goddesses, the goddess Hera reminds us that there is both light and dark within each of us and that joy and pain are inextricably linked in life. The Greek goddess Hera represents the fullness of life and affirms that we can use our own wisdom in the pursuit of any goal we choose.

This is a just one way of looking at the story, I'm sure you can find others if you browse longer.
