ヘレニズムのイメージでは、ヘーラーの馬車は孔雀に引かれていたが、これはアレキサンダー征服以前のギリシャでは知られていない鳥である。アレクサンダーの家庭教師であるアリストテレースは、この鳥を「ペルシャの鳥」と呼んだ。孔雀のモチーフは、ヨーロッパの画家たちが重視したヘーラーとユーノーを統一したルネサンス期の図像に復活した<ref>Seznec, Jean, ''The Survival of the Pagan Gods: Mythological Tradition in Renaissance Humanism and Art,'' 1953</ref>。。エーゲ海の女神の多くが「自分の」鳥と結びつけられていた古代の段階でヘーラーと結びつけられていた鳥は、ゼウスが処女のヘーラーに初めて求婚した神話の断片に登場するカッコーであった。
In Hellenistic imagery, Hera's chariot was pulled by peacocks, birds not known to Greeks before the conquests of [[Alexander the Great|Alexander]]. Alexander's tutor, [[Aristotle]], refers to it as "the Persian bird." The peacock motif was revived in the [[Renaissance]] iconography that unified Hera and Juno, which European painters focused on. A bird that had been associated with Hera on an archaic level, where most of the Aegean goddesses were associated with "their" bird, was the [[cuckoo]], which appears in mythic fragments concerning the first wooing of a virginal Hera by Zeus.
Her archaic association was primarily with cattle, as a Cow Goddess, who was especially venerated in "cattle-rich" [[Euboea]]. On [[Cyprus]], very early archaeological sites contain bull skulls that have been adapted for use as masks (see [[Bull (mythology)]]). Her familiar [[epithets in Homer|Homeric epithet]] ''Boôpis'', is always translated "cow-eyed". In this respect, Hera bears some resemblance to the [[Ancient Egyptian religion|Ancient Egyptian]] deity [[Hathor]], a maternal goddess associated with cattle.
