Mythology

Juno, known as Hera in Greek mythology, is subtly tied into the legend of Lillith, Adam's first wife before Eve. She was independent and quickly disappeared from Adam's life because she refused to be subservient.

Juno was married to Jupiter (Zeus). Before their marriage, Juno was a very independent and active young woman. After marriage, she held the status of Queen of Olympus.

Juno did not sit passively by while Jupiter engaged in his numerous affairs. She took her revenge on her husband's concubines and conquests, but rarely on her husband. Not wanting to risk her role in society and devoted to the sanctity of the union, she protected her husband in this manner and remained outwardly the diligent and devoted wife. Her deepest desire was for a happy union and proactive partnership.

June, the most popular month to be a bride, takes its name from this Goddess.
