→ゼウスとの結婚
『イーリアス』では、ゼウスは二人の結婚が駆け落ちのようなもので、親に内緒で寝たと示唆している<ref>Homer, the ''Iliad'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0134%3Abook%3D14%3Acard%3D270 14.295-299]</ref>。パウサニアスには、ヘーラーを口説くためにゼウスがカッコウに変身した後、二人が結婚するまでの物語が記されている。ヘーラーがその鳥を捕まえてペットとして飼っていたので、笏の上にカッコウが鎮座しているのだ<ref>Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+2.17.4&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160 2.17.4]</ref>。テオクリトスの『イディール』のスコリオンによると、ヘーラーが一人でソルナックス山に向かっていたとき、ゼウスはひどい嵐を起こし、自分をカッコウに変えて飛んできて、彼女の膝の上に座ったという。ヘーラーはそのマントで彼を覆った。ゼウスは、ヘーラーが母親のために自分と寝ることを拒んだので、結婚を約束した<ref>Scholia on Theocritus' ''Idylls'' [https://sententiaeantiquae.com/2021/08/21/explaining-the-cuckoo-women-know-everything-4/ 15.64]</ref>。
ヘーラーはゼウスとの結婚を拒み、洞窟に隠れてゼウスを避けていたが、アキレスという地上の男に説得され、初めて性交をした、という話がある<ref>Ptolemaeus Chennus, ''New History'' Book 6, as epitomized by Patriarch Photius in his ''Myriobiblon'' [https://topostext.org/work/237#190.47 190.47]</ref>。
In one account Hera refused to marry Zeus and hid in a cave to avoid him; an earthborn man named Achilles convinced her to give him a chance, and thus the two had their first sexual intercourse.<ref>[[Ptolemaeus Chennus]], ''New History'' Book 6, as epitomized by [[Patriarch Photius I of Constantinople|Patriarch Photius]] in his ''[[Bibliotheca (Photius)|Myriobiblon]]'' [https://topostext.org/work/237#190.47 190.47]</ref> A variation goes that Hera had been reared by a nymph named [[Macris]] on the island of [[Euboea]], but Zeus stole her away, where Mt. [[Cithaeron]], in the words of Plutarch, "afforded them a shady recess". When Macris came to look for her ward, the mountain-god Cithaeron drove her away, saying that Zeus was taking his pleasure there with Leto.<ref>[[Eusebius]], ''[[Praeparatio evangelica]]'' [https://books.google.com/books?id=yNRKAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA92 3.1.84a-b]; Hard, p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA137 137]</ref>
According to [[Callimachus]], their wedding feast lasted three thousand years.<ref>[[Callimachus]], ''[[Aetia (Callimachus)|Aetia]]'' fragment [https://dcc.dickinson.edu/callimachus-aetia/untitled-48 48]</ref> The Apples of the [[Hesperides]] that [[Heracles]] was tasked by [[Eurystheus]] to take were a wedding gift by [[Gaia]] to the couple.<ref>[[Pseudo-Apollodorus]], ''Library'' [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022%3Atext%3DLibrary%3Abook%3D2%3Achapter%3D5%3Asection%3D11 2.5.11]</ref>
