Robert and Cersei have always reminded me of Zeus and Hera. The parallels are insane. Robert & Zeus both seized the power as a young man, after a majestic battle with the Targaryens/Titans [who were essentially their own family].

Both of them have two brothers; one wants the elder brother's power and authority (Renly, Poseidon), the other is an honest autistic man living in a dark and dreadful corner (Stannis, Hades).

Their marriages with their respective wives soon turned sour, and they can't really blame anyone but themselves and their own infidelities.

Cersei and Hera both start destroying the bastards or harassing the women who had slept with their husbands. They then both betray their husbands and initiate a coup against their husband's rule (Hera's was unsuccessful, sadly).

Cersei and Hera are both pictured as vengeful women, but they also have a history of abuse received from their husbands.

Zeus and Hera's marriage is treated better and more thoroughly on his Wikipedia page than it is on hers and this just doesn't feel natural.

"Thinking about murdering me?" She laughs softly and walks right past me to take a seat on one of the barstools. "Maybe you could toss my body on the ground at Ariadne's feet like a cat displaying its hunting skills - the same way you did with Dionysus's guards." "The thought did cross my mind."

"Whatever I choose to plan apart from all the gods-

no more of your everlasting questions, probe and pry no more."

And Hera the Queen, her dark eyes wide, exclaimed,

"You KICK Hera? You kick her body like the episkyros? Oh! Oh! Jail for husband! Jail for husband for One Thousand Years!!!!"

Blessed Theogamia!

“With that the son of Cronus caught his wife in his arms and under them now the holy earth burst with fresh green grass, crocus and hyacinth, clover soaked with dew, so thick and soft it lifted their bodies off the hard, packed ground… Folded deep in that bed they lay and round them wrapped a marvelous cloud of gold, and glistening showers of dew rained down around them both.  And so, deep in peace, the Father slept on Gargaron peak, conquered by Sleep and strong assaults of Love, his wife locked in his arms.”

—Iliad, 14.413-421, translated by Robert Fagles

Rundown of the altar: my statues of Zeus and Hera on a golden plinth, standing in front of my "wedding portrait" (done by the INCREDIBLE @coloricioso). The incense is lotus oil. To the right are flowers in the flame colors associated with brides (and priestesses of Juno) in my Wifey water bottle from my wedding. To the left is a replica hydria depicting Zeus and holding peacock feathers, which my husband gave me for our household altar. In front is an altar box where I keep random love notes my husband gives me, also holding my wedding jewelry. The whole thing is scattered in lotus petals and olive leaves which I am definitely not going to sweep up and make into a tea out of curiosity.

My husband joined me under my veil to drink a toast to the anniversary couple 🥰

Hero files: Reverse

Name: Elle Roberts

Age: 24

Height: 5”10

Birthplace: Vancouver BC Canada

Ethnicity: French Canadian

Relevant labels: bisexual

Powers: Smartest woman alive but can only speak backwards

Fav movie: She doesn’t watch a lot of movies, preferring to just let Hera pick or read instead.

Fav school subject: Math

Fav animal: Lobsters

Comfort foods: Meringues, Chocolate cupcakes, soup

Backstory: Reverse was born with extraordinary intelligence, but as she grew up it became clear that there was something wrong with how she was trying to talk. Eventually it was figured out she was speaking backwards, so it was very hard for her to communicate or make friends. She met Hera in kindergarten and she was one of the only kids who bothered trying to get to know Reverse, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Fatal flaw: Communication issues, there are things she’ll pick up on that she won’t tell anyone about because to her it was so obvious why wouldn’t they have known too?

„There is another significant detail in Kleitias' painting. As Dionysus and the mule bearing Hephaestus approach Olympus, attended by a company of Silenoi and nymphs, the first to meet them is not Hera or Zeus but Aphrodite, who makes gestures of dismay. Robert inferred that in the version followed by the artist she had perhaps been promised to Hephaestus as payment for releasing his mother. Wilamowitz developed the idea: Aphrodite, he supposed, had been promised to Ares if he succeeded in his mission, but in the event it was Hephaestus who got her. This would be the background to the situation in Demodocus' tale, where she is married to Hephaestus but has Ares as her lover. … Timothy Gantz allows that Wilamowitz's theory 'would certainly explain a very unusual marriage', but points out that it 'creates … an awkward imbalance of logic', because if Aphrodite had been promised to Ares as the reward for bringing Hephaestus back, she ought then to have been given to Dionysus, who succeeded in the task. 'We might better suppose that Zeus authorized Dionysos to promise Aphrodite's hand if Hephaistos came back; thus, at the mere sight of Hephaistos returning, the goddess knows she is lost.'21 A similar compromise solution might be that Hera promised Aphrodite to whoever could induce Hephaestus to release her,22 and that Dionysus, having obtained her as his reward, then bestowed her on his new friend Hephaestus.” (M. L. West, The Fragmentary Homeric Hymn to Dionysus)

„At the center of the composition [on the François Vase], however, is a surprise: Aphrodite has come out to stand in front of Zeus and observe the arrival [of Hephaistos] firsthand. Possibly her special interest in the event stems from the assumption that Hephaistos is here, as in Odyssey 8, her husband, in which case her look probably denotes disappointment at his return. But it has also been suggested that Hephaistos has demanded her hand in marriage (rather than, as in Hyginus, that of Athena) if he is to release his mother. This last interpretation has, unfortunately, no evidence whatever from antiquity to support it…” (Timothy Gantz, Early Greek Myth: A Guide to Literary and Artistic Sources)

TL;DR: All the supposed „versions” people bring up when discussing how Aphrodite ended up married to Hephaistos in the context of the story of his revenge on Hera are conjectures made by modern scholars rather than being attested in any ancient Greek sources. We simply don't know anything substantial about that detail of the myth, full stop, and it's time people accept that instead of arguing about which variant is more correct.
