Juno, the queen of the Roman gods, is known for her grandeur and majesty. She was the wife of Jupiter and often seen as a protective goddess of women and marriage. However, her relationship with Hercules, the famous Roman hero, was anything but harmonious. Hercules was the son of Jupiter and Alcmena, a mortal, which incited Juno's jealousy and wrath. Determined to make the young demigod's life difficult, Juno devised numerous plans to harm him from birth.
One of the most iconic stories involving Juno and the infant Hercules is the goddess's attempt to eliminate him while he was still a baby. Furious over Jupiter's betrayal, Juno sent two deadly serpents to Hercules' cradle. However, even at a tender age, Hercules already displayed his extraordinary strength. Upon seeing the approaching serpents, he grabbed them with his tiny hands and strangled them, showcasing the grand destiny that awaited him.
This early victory not only highlighted Hercules' divine strength but also intensified the conflict between him and Juno. Throughout his life, Hercules would face numerous challenges imposed by the goddess, but this cradle story serves as proof of his character and resilience from infancy. The tumultuous relationship between Juno and Hercules is one of the most fascinating in Roman mythology, showcasing the complexity of divine emotions and the impact of these intrigues on heroic legends.
