Juno. The wife and sister of Jupiter, daughter of Saturn and Rhea, and as wife of Jupiter mistress of gods and men. Her birthplace was assigned by the Greeks to Argos, or the Island Samos, and to other spots in Greece, although her story and her worship were rather of Phenician origin. The chief peculiarities of her character were love of power and jealousy. The worship of Juno was far spread, and the number of her temples, and festivals was very great. The same goddess was worshiped among the Greeks under the name of Hera.
