ヘーラーはゼウスと喧嘩した後、ゼウスのもとを去ってエウベイアに退去したが、ゼウスからの言葉は彼女の心を揺さぶることはなかった。そこで、この地の王シタエロンがゼウスに、女性の木像を手に取り、それを包んで結婚するふりをするように勧めた。ゼウスは言われたとおりに、「彼女」をアソプスの娘プラタイアだと言った。ヘーラーはその知らせを聞くと、結婚式の儀式を中断し、その姿からドレスを引き剥がしましたが、それは生気のない像に過ぎず、恋敵ではないことがわかった。女王と王は和解し、これを記念して人々はダイダラという祭りを祝った<ref>Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+9.3.1&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160 9.3.1]–[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160%3Abook%3D9%3Achapter%3D3%3Asection%3D2 9.3.2]</ref>。祭りの期間中、神話の再現が行われ、木製のヘーラー像が選ばれ、アソプス川で沐浴した後、花嫁のように戦車に上げて行列を先導し、儀式的に燃やされたのです<ref>Murray, 1842, page:[https://books.google.gr/books?id=RNVPAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA313 313]。
After a quarrel with Zeus, Hera left him and retreated to Euboea, and no word from Zeus managed to sway her mind. Cithaeron, the local king, then advised Zeus to take a wooden statue of a woman, wrap it up, and pretend to marry it. Zeus did as told, claiming "she" was Plataea, [[Asopus]]'s daughter. Hera, once she heard the news, disrupted the wedding ceremony and tore away the dress from the figure only to discover it was but a lifeless statue, and not a rival in love. The queen and her king were reconciled, and to commemorate this the people there celebrated a festival called [[Daedala]]. During the festival, a re-enactment of the myth was celebrated, where a wooden statue of Hera was chosen, bathed in the river Asopus and then raised on a chariot to lead the procession like a bride, and then ritually burned.{{sfn|Murray|1842|page=[https://books.google.gr/books?id=RNVPAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA313 313]}}
According to [[Diodorus Siculus]], [[Alcmene]], the mother of Heracles, was the very last mortal woman Zeus ever slept with; following the birth of Heracles, he ceased to beget humans altogether.<ref>[[Diodorus Siculus]], ''[[Bibliotheca historica|Library of History]]'' [https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/4B*.html#p391 4.14.4]</ref>
