Hera (Greek Mythology) Help!!?

Question

I need an actual story that centres around Hera. I need this for a class in English; I have to retell the story as if I were the goddess. I have looked for about an hour so far, and I need help!
Does anyone have a link to a Hera myth/story?
If not, Athena or Aphrodite will do!!!!
Thank you. :)

Answer 1

The 12 Labours of Heracles is the one. Hera disliked Heracles because he was the son of Zeus but not her son (work it out).He had committed a crime so she sentenced him to work for KIng Eurystheus (a cousin, I think) and told him to set 12 impossible tasks., all of which Heracles achieved, much to Hera's increasing annoyance and frustration (and anger with Zeus.) Not space to go into 12 labours here. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

There's a story about Hera sending these epic challenges to Hercules (Zeus's son) when she found out that he was cheating on her. I can't remember the name of the story though. I think it's something like the 12 Challenges.

I hoped this helped and good luck on the narrative.:)

Answer 3

Hera is quite prominent in the Iliad. She uses her " charms " to distract Zeus from the battle between the Trojans and Greeks, so her hero can shine. I forget the exact particulars, but it should be readily available on line.
