*Sigh* Everyone always gets Hera wrong! She is portrayed in Greek stories (written by men!) as a jealous wife who wreaks her spiteful revenge on her husband's illegitimate children. In reality, Hera was worshipped in her own right as a mother goddess. The stories about her were written by devotees of the rival cult of Zeus. It's propaganda!

Still, as you are writing for school, I'd portray her as a wronged woman. There are plenty of those out there.

How about the "Lady Hera's Lie Detector", a portable device guaranteed to catch your cheating man out. You could team is with the "Lady Hera Corrective Collar", a stylish collar that will deliver a harmless but painful jolt of electricity every time your man has a naughty thought. You could photo-shop a picture of her holding something if you can't draw.

She might be the goddess of marriage, but her husband is the god of war, and since a wife supports her husband it would be appropriate for her to advertise something to do with war like an AK47 or a Stealth Bomber. And since Zeus is such a lecher Hera can use the AK47 to warn off her rivals.

How about a giant scarf that two people can wear to keep warm together? Or a his and hers t-shirt set with a simple drawing of a peacock on the front (peacocks were sacred to Hera). Hera's pomegranate wine (her sacred fruit).
Or how about a special alarmed pants for men so women can know if their husband is cheating - Hera's husband Zeus slept around a lot and she was not happy with this.

She may be the goddess of marriage, but I think a product that reflects her vengeful, jealous side would be more appropriate.
Like a home alarm system that goes off whenever Zeus comes back after a busy night.
Use your imagination!

She was goddess of Marriage among other things so maybe something to do with that. She also married her Brother Zeus, so you could do something to do with that?! She was one of the three goddesses competeing for the golden apple inscribed 'For the Fairest' which was judged by Paris of Troy (Aphrodite was chosen which ultimately began the Trojan War), so you could advertise apples better than that golden one?! She was also extremely jealous of Zeus' liasons with mortal women resulting in many children, including Herakles who she tried to kill whilst still a baby when she sent down two snakes to strangle him, so you could do cot protection??

She should advertise a private investigation service so people can see if their spouses are cheating on them. Hera's ofter portrayed as being really jealous. It would make sense with Zeus sleeping with every female with two legs.

Well, here's a little project I did for MY English class on Lady Hera:

Please spend time reading this whole load of junk:

Lady Hera

So who’s Hera?

“So who’s this Hera gal and what’s with her that’s so interesting?” you ask. Well, she is the eldest child of the titan Kronos and Rheia (Never mind who they are). Nobody knows why, but she had a crush on her youngest brother Zeus, and married him. “Well, that’s still didn’t grab much of my attention.” You might say. The thing is, you see, the fun part about Hera is her husband, Zeus. He just can’t stop going about aiming for beautiful women! Hera, being the goddess of happy families and homes, is angry and ashamed that her OWN family is a disaster. So the fun beings when Hera goes around chasing Zeus and cursing his children (ones not born by her) and consorts.

Stories of Hera

1. Zeus’ auntie, Leto, was a beautiful Titan of the Moon. Zeus (being Zeus!) fell in love with her, and… had children. When Hera found out, she just could not control her anger she plans on the destruction of the child. Luckily, Leto is still pregnant, and the child is still easy to be found… inside of Leto! So Hera had passed a new law of the heavens.

Leto searched the whole world, seeking a place to give birth. She finally found the small island of Delos, a little floating piece of soil surrounded by swans. She planned on giving birth there. Is Leto getting away with it? Of course not! Hera kidnapped her own daughter (with Zeus) Ilithyia, the Goddess of Childbirth, and held her in custody so she could not use her power, as she normally does, to make women go into labour. So Leto waited and waited but she just didn’t go into labour! In the end, the other gods forced Hera to let her go, and Leto gave birth to a twin, Artemis and Apollo.

2. Zeus had an affair with a mortal woman! Luckily for Zeus, Hera didn’t find out about it until the baby was born, he was named Dionysus (later became the God of Wine). Hera lured the Dionysus to her with toys, and ordered monstrous Titans to rip the baby apart. Just as they were about to finish killing the child, Zeus rushed in and drove the Titans away with his thunderbolt. He was just almost too late, Dionysus’ whole body was torn into pieces, except his heart, which is saved by Athena (don’t bother knowing her), which made him remain alive! Zeus then planted this heart into the womb of Seleme, in which he regrows, therefore Dionysus was known as the twice-born.

3. Zeus had a mistress called Iofina, this time Hera planned her timing perfectly, she caught them together doing business! Zeus quickly hid the evidence by turning Iofina into a cow! Smart Hera was not fooled, however, and demanded the cow be given to her as a present. Zeus did so, and Hera ordered a monster to guard the cow.

Zeus’ men, in an attempt to rescue her, killed the guard and set Iofina free, Hera sent poisonous insects after her. Eventually Iofina ran from the insect to the ends of the earth, where she was worshipped as a goddess by Egyptians.

4. As mentioned above, Zeus had people who kept his affair secrets away from Hera, the nymph Echo was one of them. When Hera found out, she cursed Echo into only being able to repeat the words she heard. Her name was later used in the English language, for echo. (Obviously)

Hera is a very busy goddess, a role model for feisty housewives, chasing her husband around all day. Beyond that she even planned to overthrow him and become the ruler of the heavens herself! Zeus always feared Hera, yet he can never contain his excitement when he sees sexy women!

Note: There’s MUCH MORE about Hera that’s interesting, these are just samples. Look on the internet for great stories of Hera.
