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。
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.<ref>Seznec, Jean, ''The Survival of the Pagan Gods: Mythological Tradition in Renaissance Humanism and Art,'' 1953</ref> 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.
