[Opinions] Re: Hera
in reply to a message by SPNFamily
Hera is a pretty name.
It is very tied to the goddess. While Hera was a better character than Zeus or Apollo (at least she never flayed anyone or attempted rape that I recall), none of the Greek gods were the epitome of moral character. I think the name is too tied to jealousy. Maybe if someone wrote a feminist version of her or a best selling novel using the name, Hera would start to have other associations.
