THE MYTHS & LEGEND COLLECTION
GODDESS HERA AND THE CUCKOO
THE STORY OF COMPASSION
There are many versions of the story of Hera. One day, Zeus, the King of the Gods, was walking around the beautiful region of Hesperides when he suddenly spotted Hera and fell head over heels in love with her. To approach Hera, Zeus transformed himself into a cuckoo bird and placed himself outside her window, pretending to be frozen by the cold.
At the sight of the frozen bird, Hera felt sorrow and pity and took it inside her house. Once inside, Zeus revealed his true identity and made love to Hera. Then, he grabbed Hera and brought her to the mountain of Cithaeron to make her his legal wife so that she could cover her shame.
