I will scream this until the sun explodes, if you write Hera cheating you don’t understand Hera.

this is one of my only gripes with kaos
but it happens so much in other media
people always get Hera's character wrong because she doesn't fit with the main stories that people create with for Greek mythology
it probably comes from modern society's resentment of upper class figures and the active resistance of power
so people in control need to be bad people
and sex / being unfaithful is one way to do that
BUT Hera is normally made to be the spiteful wife / just Angry(TM)
because in so many other stories Zeus is presented as bad but we still need to root for him or Hera still needs to be the main antagonist
so the solution is to make her worse beyond what her character would normally allow
In Kaos a similar thing happens because she is a Goddess who is in Control so she needs to be Bad
because that's also central to the theme of Kaos; the power of humanity in love (see Riddy and Caeneus or Zeus' speech after killing Dennis
so she is shaped to be a vindictive
cheating wife
not because she's Hera
but because she is a Goddess (or
as she reminds the audience...
the Queen of the Gods)
