Summary/Abstract: Hera is one of the most powerful goddess in the Olympian mythology and she is important for the construction of the female and the personal identity in the patriarchal society and male history. In each woman there is something from Hera, Aphrodite, Eurynome and other goddess of the partiarchal Olympus. But in all of them there are their other selves, their suppressed power of the Great Goddess as well as the possibility of rebirth.
