“Hera: Ohh, Thalia Grace, when I get out of here, you'll be sorry you were ever born.
Thalia: Save it! You've been nothing but a curse to every child of Zeus for ages. You sent a bunch of intestinally challenged cows after my friend Annabeth
Hera: She was disrespectful!
Thalia: You dropped a statue on my legs.
Hera: It was an accident!
Thalia: AND you took my brother”
― Rick Riordan, The Lost Hero

“Leo dropped into the pool and approched the cage. "Hola, Tia. Little bit of trouble?"

― Rick Riordan, The Lost Hero

“Indeed, "Hera said. ―Porphyrion, the strongest of his kind. Gaea needed a great deal of power to raise him again —my power. For weeks I‘ve grown weaker as my essence was used to grow him a new form."
―So you‘re like a heat lamp,"Leo guessed. ―Or fertilizer.”
― Rick Riordan, The Lost Hero

― Rick Riordan

“Jason muttered "And I saw something...Really terrible."
"That was Hera," Thalia grumbled, "Her Majesty, the Loose Cannon."
"That's it, Thalia Grace," Said the goddess. "I will turn you into and aardvark, so help me-"
"Stop it, you two," Piper said. Amazingly, they both shut up.”
― Rick Riordan, The Lost Hero

“Oh, don't mind me! Just the queen of the heavens, dying over here!”

“They yoked themselves to a car and drew her all the long way through dust and heat. Everyone admired their filial piety when they arrived and the proud and happy mother standing before the statue prayed that Hera would reward them by giving them the best gift in her power. As she finished her prayer the two lads sank to the ground. They were smiling and they looked as if they were peacefully asleep but they were dead. (Biton and Cleobis)”
― Edith Hamilton, Mythology

comes to your friends, you are as constant as a compass needle. You are unswervingly
loyal, and you inspire loyalty. You are the glue that will unite the seven.�

“Great,� Percy said. “I always wanted to be glue.�

Juno laced her crooked fingers.”

“Aphrodite, Aphrodite--I am sick of hearing poets sing her praise. "Violet-crowned, the golden, laughter-loving one..." How she sets their hearts a-twitter! And they call her "Queen of Love"--what folly.
If love is like a firefly that flits about and quickly fades, then let her be its queen.
If love is sacred, and endures, then it is my domain.”
― Doris Orgel, We Goddesses

“Was the god of marriage and birth offering her an olive branch? Meg took a deep breath and tried to keep her words in check for a change while she deferred to Hera. "What do you suggest?"
Hera continued to look at her. "That depends. Are you in love with my son?"
"Love?" Meg took a step back. She immediately thought back to something she'd said to Hercules as she lay dying back in Thebes. People always do crazy things when they're in love.
Was that what this was? Love?
Was she in love with a god?
No.
Yes.
Possibly.”
― Jen Calonita, Go the Distance

“Are you accusing a god spying on you, Megara?" Hera asked.
"Accusing? No," Meg said. "Guessing? Yes. It's what I would be doing if I had a son who almost renounced his heritage to date a mortal. I'd want to know if she was worth all the fuss." Meg shrugged. "Call it a hunch.”

“She came anyway, but this time, she brought a wedding gift with her.
A wedding gift that would kick off the Trojan War.
Eris, the goddess of Discord, wasn't invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. Not to be deterred, she came anyway, and she brought something with her.
What she brought with her was a golden apple that had the words, "...to the fairest" engraved on it. And the three goddesses - Aphrodite, Athena and Hera - began fighting each other over it...and that's how the Trojan War started. It's also how Rome was founded, as the story goes.”
― Michael Jagdeo

“Usually when you talk to people, they don't want to talk; they want to dominate. Most of the time, they don't want to have a conversation; they want to place judgment on your soul...and you can use this to your ADVANTAGE.

So the next time someone picks a fight with you, ask them a question no longer than 8 words. Emotional people LOVE answering questions.

And it's by their answers ye shall truly know them.

And it's by their answers that ye shall discover where their pressure points are.

And at the perfect time...you'll ask the final question.

Now, you might not get anywhere, but the audience will feel it.”
― Michael Jagdeo
