I was his wife,
His sister,
His wife,
His sister
Yes, sometimes Hera saw herself
As Faye Dunaway in “Chinatown”
Being the wife of Zeus
Was difficult
What with all his fucking around
She found him quite an evil bastard
And when that stupid ass Paris
Chose Aphrodite
As the most beautiful goddess
He was on my shit-list
Then they went and built a temple
For ME
In Greece
But the fucking roof fell off.
And then they make Hebe
My daughter
The goddess of youth
Not ME
That stupid bitch Echo
Trying to distract me
From Zeus’s philanderings
And that cunt Leto
But they made me let her go
How about Io
Who was turned into a cow
(Less than she deserved!)
That I subsequently had charge of
I am so tired of being a goddess
Why can’t I be like a mortal
And just be forgotten?
