I decided to write about the tumultuous relationship between Jupiter (Greek, Zeus) and Juno (Greek, Hera). Jupiter’s infidelity is legendary among the stories, with many of the greatest heroes being attributed as his offspring from one affair or another. This trait makes Jupiter look like just another lustful man, bounding after whatever fair lady wanders by that week. It is an incredibly human trait to see emulated in a god.
One such example of his excesses was the story of Io. In chapter 3, Bulfinch tells of the story of Io, a mistress of Jupiter’s who found herself in a rather terrible situation: “Jupiter did not love Jupiter did not love his wife very much, and Juno distrusted her husband, and was always accusing him of unfaithfulness.
