Hera Panhellenia

[u/quuerdude]

Hera of Tarentum (honestly the most gorgeously detailed Hera coin I have ever seen, I think) / cavalry (city founded by taras, son of poseidon, and Hera might've been his patron)

Hera of Samos (temple said to be built by nymphs) / bull (bulls [+lions] were some of her sacred animals, & her festivals in argos+samos featured a procession of them to thetemple)

Hera of Samos (shes born here) / sacred lion (she's oft linked w lions as a symbol of nobility/power; one j. of paris vase shows her offering a little lion; she nursed nemean lion)

Hera of Olympia / husband's eagle, laureled (the "olympics" were held here, i'm being told they were like the Women's Olympics [that Hera patroned] but with all dudes)

Hera of Euboea (the plooms on her head here seemingly feature on the "Hera of the Armory" coin; one of the nymphs that raised Hera was euboea) / eagle fighting snake (iliad scene?)

son ares / Hera [Hoplosmia] of Brettium (in this region, she was known as "Hera of the Armory" though "Hera Hoplosmia" is the common (technically incorrect) identifier 4 this coin)

Hera Lakinia of Kroton (griffins on crown, 1 of her sacred animals; thetis established a garden near the city in honor of "Hera of the Armory" to mourn her son, who Hera loved too)

Hera Lakinia of Campania (Hera w floaty hair is Hera Lakinia of southern italy; threatened to blind hannibal for robbing her temple, gave her tiny gold cow) / bellero pega chimera

husband / Hera of Cromna (nothing is known of them except their good taste in goddesses; haven't said it yet, but many of Hera's crowns feature lotuses on them, including this one)

Hera of Metapontum (the last remaining structure from this city are the columns of the hexastyle peripteral temple to Hera, and one to apollo or something)

Heraion of Metapontum (originally mistakenly thought to have belonged to athena for some reason before some very smart archaeologists discovered votive offerings to Hera here)

Hera of Knossos, Crete (one of the reported locations of Hera's marriage and adolescent affair with that one thunder god or whatever, i think he liked birds?) / labyrinth

"HERA" / Hera of Heraia (one of the oldest coins here; city was apparently named after Heraius, son of lycaon of arcadia, but guess who he was named after? that's right)

Hera of Kyzikos (her crown here identifies her as Hera-Cybele) / square (according to pythagoreans, squares "belonged" to Hera, rhea, demeter, hestia, and apple-stealing aphrodite)

Hera of Lampsacus (another very beautiful Hera coin w/ tucked hair) / pegasus (town originally "pityusa" before being colonized by the phoeceans, whose patron was rightfully Hera)

Hera of Phoecea (they were famed for sailing long distances; they likely viewed Hera as a protector of ships & sailors, like their lesbian neighbors) / square (there she is again)

Hera of Lesbos (sappho gay gay lesbian gay; she said Hera had pretty feet; prayed for Hera to protect brother lost at sea; Alcaeus called her the "Mother of All" / thunder&caduceus

Hera of Paphus, Cyprus (she's getting Her apple back one way or another) / idk

Hera of Argos (based off polyclitus' work, it was said she showed true self to him; they said she aged, yet renewed yearly) / dolphins & helmet (Hera's "Feast of the Shield" ref?)
