Why Hera Never Punished Zeus Directly (The Dark Truth)

Ever wondered why Hera always punishes Zeus's lovers instead of Zeus himself? The answer is darker than you think.

Most people know Hera as the jealous, vengeful queen of the gods - but what if I told you she actually DID try to punish Zeus directly? And it went so catastrophically wrong that she never dared challenge him again?

In this video, we dive deep into the untold story of Hera's rebellion against Zeus - a conspiracy involving Poseidon, Athena, and the god of sleep himself. For one brief moment, the King of the Gods was chained and powerless. But when Zeus broke free... his revenge changed Hera forever.

We'll explore:
- The secret rebellion that nearly toppled Zeus from his throne
- Why Hera threw her own son Hephaestus from Mount Olympus
- The psychological torture that broke the Queen of Heaven
- How this trauma shaped every cruel act of revenge that followed
- Why Leto, Io, Semele, and Hercules all paid the price for Zeus's crimes

This isn't just another mythology video - it's a deep dive into power, trauma, and survival in the world of the gods. By the end, you'll see Hera in a completely different light. Was she really the villain of Greek mythology? Or was she the most tragic victim of all?

Greek mythology isn't black and white - it's thunder and chains, power and pain. And sometimes, even gods bleed.
