According to [[Walter Burkert]], both Hera and Demeter have many characteristic attributes of Pre-Greek [[Great Goddess]]es.ウォルター・バーカートによれば、ヘーラーとデーメーテールはともにギリシア以前の大女神の特徴を多く持っているという<ref>"The goddesses of Greek polytheism, so different and complementary"; [[Greek mythology]] scholar [[Walter Burkert]] has observed, in ''Homo Necans'' (1972) 1983:79f, "are nonetheless, consistently similar at an earlier stage, with one or the other simply becoming dominant in a sanctuary or city. Each is the Great Goddess presiding over a male society; each is depicted in her attire as [[Potnia Theron]] "Mistress of the Beasts", and Mistress of the Sacrifice, even Hera and Demeter."</ref>。
In the same vein, British scholar [[Charles Francis Keary]] suggests that Hera had some sort of "[[Mother goddess|Earth Goddess]]" worship in ancient times,<ref>Keary, Charles Francis.
