Description
Perhaps no goddess embodies the Ancient Greek attitude towards women than Hera, Queen of the Gods. Portrayed as the perpetually spiteful wife, her power was shown as limited and lesser. But who was the true Hera and where did she come from? Join Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden as they discuss the history of this goddess with noted archaeologist and Homeric scholar, Dr. Gary Stickel.
