ILIAD | “Hera is considered to be fair/equal whenever she goes into battle”

BLOG: QUESTION NUMBER 2



· Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

 

· Cite examples from the first five books of the Iliad that prove your stand.
 

Daughter of Cronus and Rhea. Sister and wife of Zeus. Jealous, scheming, and powerful, Hera hates the Trojans fiercely and works for their destruction. Queen of the gods.

 

“Hera is considered to be fair/equal whenever she goes into battle” I disagree because she hates the Trojans because of their work of destruction. She sides with Acheans against troy by putting the idea on Achilles mind to call the greeks to assemble on the tenth day of war.


 Zeus and Hera were fighting over the fate of the mortals but  Hephaestus, Their son. Stopped them from fighting because of Hera's wishes that shows inequality for the Trojans. But Zeus threatened Hera from physical harm because of the argument.


Zeus and Hera argues again because of Troy. Hera wants the city to be destroyed but Zeus disagrees. Then Hera traded Zeus 3 cities to compensate Troy. Hera does not show equality. The way she plans shows hatred and injustice. She will do anything for the sake of making her plan work. She is not fair for me. She is not fair to the Trojans.
